Every year, a small group of Japanese students sign up for classes in the Polish Language and Culture Studies programme at the University of Tokyo. Alongside struggling to pronounce words like kiełbasa, second-year students are required to stage a play in Polish. Our Little Poland examines their trials and tribulations – not only with the Polish language, but also with the bittersweet clash of expectation and reality – in this coming-of-age tale. Matěj Bobřík’s first feature-length documentary premiered at the Warsaw Film Festival, where it took part in the Documentary Competition.
