The Sun is Low

Poland / 2025 / 18 min

After breaking up with her partner, a mother takes her eight-year-old son on a camper trip. Now these two will be able to start their lives just together. In a patriarchal society, it’s generally the father who takes his son camping or fishing, or the whole family goes on a seaside vacation. It’s very rare for a mother to go on an expedition with her son. The journey is accompanied by very insightful and moving conversations between mother and son and painted landscapes. The roles of mother and son are reversed during this short expedition. It is a road movie that becomes a metaphor for the life of a mother and her child. The story of a beautiful and unique love.
