This Polish film from director Andrzej Jakimowski takes a look at the unique friendship between a younger girl and an older man. Mala runs away from home, fleeing the idyllic surroundings of her parent's farm, and instead shacks up with her former school teacher, Jaciek. With her parents and Jaciek both attempting to persuade Mala to return home, the story undergoes a few twists and turns, providing a fascinating meditation on the wiles of youth, and the adult reaction to them.
