DOWN TO EARTH

POLISH TITLE: BLISKO ZIEMI

The documentary movie "Down to earth" tells the story of co-dependent relationship of Małgorzata and Mariusz, directors' parents. The presented relationship is far from perfect but apart from many accusations and disappointments, it is also full of unexpected examples of care and subtle gestures of love. Over the years of their marriage, both of them developed many behavioral patterns, unknown and probably inconceivable to people not familiar with the issue of alcoholism, but recognized and well known to professionals who deal with the issue.
