DESCRIPTION

An emotionally charged portrayal of the Polish youth in the debut film of Janusz Zaorski. Bartek lives near Łódź and works in a co-operative which produces road sings. The co-operative is managed by the director who is also the father of Bartek’s girlfriend. A day before the 22nd July holiday Bartek goes to Kudowa for business with Józef, a driver. The men stay overnight in Wrocław, where the boy meets Kasia, a laboratory technician. This encounter will wake him up from his apathy and provoke him to think his life over. Run Away Nearly starred Stan Borys, a well-known Polish singer-songwriter, whose songs appear on the film’s soundtrack.
