Skoruń

Seven stories of land, river and work, of longing and of leaving childhood. The village calls him a scamp. He lives near Sandomierz, by a Vistula that sometimes threatens the dykes, with his father, an orchard keeper, inventor and atheist, and his mother, a living saint. It is the 1980s; his father was once in a conspiracy, a flood ravaged the next village. Nobody minds the boy, but he watches and listens.
