Brat (2025) – Polish

A moving story about a woman and a family tested by a world of violence, unfulfilled ambitions, and mounting chaos. Fourteen-year-old Dawid cares for his younger brother and tries to meet the expectations of his mother, who wants to break free from a toxic past and start anew, without her imprisoned husband. Although the boy possesses talent and strength, his daily life, juxtaposed between school, home, and the streets, increasingly struggles to maintain control. Everything becomes even more complicated when Konrad – the only adult Dawid truly trusts – enters their lives. However, this is only the beginning of a turbulent series of events that could ultimately tear this family apart… or save it.
