THE RHYTHM OF LIFE

POLISH TITLE: RYTM ŻYCIA

The first rhythm he encountered was his heart beat. Then he was discovering other sounds until they became an element of his daily life, a source of metaphysical experience and the corner stone of his philosophy. Wojtek Sówka is a drummer, a street shaman. Natuśka is a dancer. Without her the drummer would be useless. They make a couple whose life together is, above all, a well-tuned rhythm.
