Tricks / Sztuczki

Rather than hang out with boys his own age, Stefak prefers to wander the streets and railway termini of his hometown on his own. He’s also in thrall to his 18 year-old sister Elka, who reveals how he can ‘trick’ fate into providing the outcomes he wishes. One hot, hazy summer Stefak spots a man alighting from a train whom he is convinced is his estranged father – using Elka’s wisdom he dangerously contrives to direct the stranger into his mother’s shop… A delightful and much-garlanded comedy which offers insights into the mind of a yearning 6 year-old as well as an authentic portrait of working-class life in Middle Europe and plenty of gentle laughs. “…this realistic yet poetic gem” – Variety.
