AND ŁÓDŹ STAYS ANYWAY
POLISH TITLE: A ŁÓDŹ I TAK ZOSTANIE
An ordinary visit to a friend they have not seen for a long time becomes, for both men, a pretext to walk down the streets of Łódź. This slightly surreal trip to less known locations and alleys reveals the city’s flavour. It is also a journey in time, showing the remnants of what belongs to the past now, like old neons, a closed down local bar or forgotten amusement park. These are the places that preserve the character of the city portrait in black and white.
