- Composed from the conversations that the director holds with people passing by in the street under his Warsaw apartment, each story in 'The Balcony Movie' is unique and deals with the way we try to cope with life as individuals. All together, they create a self-portrait of contemporary human life, and the passers-by present a composite picture of today's world.

- When it starts to blow, there is no way to hide from it or completely shelter oneself. Its destructive power manifests itself in destroyed forests and houses.

- The Jesuit Order novitiate is a severe form of a trial. During two years of isolation from society and the comforts of civilization, young men have enough time to ponder the question: Is the religious life for me? In this documentary that constantly challenges the boundaries of human faith (and the viewer's suspension of disbelief), we can see, among other things, the first lectures for future clergy. "If you sit in a shack, you will see the fruits in everyday life," says an elderly monk. Wojciech Staron's shots of the desert define the symbolic horizon of the experience of the novices, and the steady rhythm of the musical score immerses us in an aura of meditation.

- The main characters in the movie are two neighbors - Jagoda (11) and Zuzia (13). We witness one year of their life - their long talks about what is important and what is elusive, their thoughts on adolescence, on love ("love is cool until it gets serious"), on complexes, on boys and grown ups, on what it means to be a woman. The girls go shopping for clothes, dress up, sing, dance to TikTok moves, enjoy sleepovers in the garden during warm nights. Neither one is afraid to express her opinions. The documentary "Girls' Stories" is a tale addressed both to Jagoda's and Zuzia's peers as well as to adults - those who remember the things "back in the days" and those who don't.
