5,000 kilometres away from us, in Iran, live children seemingly similar to those in Poland. However, the truth is different - although the protagonist of the film, Abolfazl, seems to lead an idyllic life, his problems have a completely different dimension. What is life like for a child in a different culture? We will talk about this after the screening.

Dorota Brzezińska – intercultural psychologist, trainer and social animator. She organises workshops, lectures and meetings for people working at the cultural crossroads. She shows how to conduct activities that strengthen diversity and integration among people from different backgrounds. For over 10 years she has worked in various institutions and NGOs, managing educational, cultural and social projects. In 2016, she provided assistance at refugee centres in Bremen, Germany. Currently, she supports young people as a school psychologist and teaches academic psychology classes at the University of Gdańsk and the Gdynia Maritime University. She also runs her own company Dobra Pracownia.

Host:

Paulina Pohl – a graduate in cultural studies and co-founder of Dom Filmowy (the Film House), a project co-created by young people, combining educational, film and social activities. Cultural event organiser, social activist, and film educator.
