"My Brother a Fisherman" – searching for a common language
Today (September 20) begins the 46th edition of the Gdynia Film Festival. Therefore it remains for us to present the last of our four productions which qualified for the Short Film Competition of this prestigious event.
"My Brother a Fisherman", directed by Alicja Sokół, is one of the newest films from the Warsaw Film School and it will begin its festival adventure with the premiere in Gdynia at the most important Polish festival. Our student's short tells the story of two brothers who are trying to find a common language in difficult circumstances.

Somewhere at the end of the world, in the middle of nowhere, there are two brothers who live in a small fishing village. Not being alike makes them unable to find common ground. While the older one is focused on work, the younger one sends messages to take part in radio competition hoping that first place will change his life. The unexpected disappearance of their father force the brothers closer together while they takeover his duties at the fishing port.
