Wilcza 32 1998

Directed by Andrzej Jakimowski

A few days in the life of a tenement building in downtown Warsaw. Everyday scenes—some captured by a hidden camera—unfold simultaneously in the courtyard, in the tenants’ apartments, as well as in offices and businesses, including a lawmaker’s office, a beauty salon, and an escort agency. The lives of people from different generations and sometimes vastly different professions intertwine; the building at 32 Wilcza Street resembles a single organism, living by its own unique rhythm. Every day, events blend with memories, and tragic episodes with genuine comedy.
