When he doesn’t come home from work on time one day, Jaś and his mother decide to go looking for him. Meanwhile, the man has a strange adventure. He misses his stop on the way to work and ends up lost in the woods. There, he meets mysterious characters – spirits who, in the old days, used to live in people’s houses and play tricks on them. They try to put a spell on the lost man to make him forget about his family and stay in the forest with them. Jaś and his mother fight to free dad from the power of the mischievous spirits.

Teatroteka – Theatre for the Young

A series of theatre plays for children initiated and produced by the Documentary and Feature Film Studios (WFDiF).

WFDiF’s new initiative is a bold production and artistic undertaking aimed at producing television performances for children based on contemporary Polish texts, i.e. works written in the 21st century. The underlying concept is the same as in the case of Teatroteka for adults – young authors and directors create an original audiovisual performance following the theatrical convention while engaging cinematic means of production. These are live-action spectacles, without the use of puppets, and performed by adult actors (although, exceptionally, child actors may also be involved).
