Inner Road examines one day from life of a thirty-year-old man who is very successful in the corporate rat race. He wakes up in his apartment in the big city, dresses himself, drinks coffee, gets ready for work as any other day. When he is about to reach the door step of his stairway he is stopped by an invisible barrier. This day, leaving the house is a hard as leaving a maze.
Fast Date Room by Anna Maliszewska is a dramatic story of Natalia and Artur, a young married couple concerned with the renovation of their first apartment. Suddenly Artur causes a car accident. Natalie faces eight years with her husband - him inside prison, her on the outside.
