The film tells the story of the life of Mark Late, who at first glance does not stand out from the crowd with anything special. We meet him in 1968, when, as an infant with a character, he gives a "crack" to everyone in his closest environment. Through Marek's subjective and witty gaze we see the banana era of Gierek, the election of the Pope-Pole, martial law with perpetually missing oranges, which are to arrive from brotherly Cuba at an unspecified time. Eighteen-year-old Marek, after failing the exam for the School of Theater, calls up the army, from which Marek... deserts. The second time he gets into the school of his dreams, and only then does his life gain momentum. He finds a spiritual mentor, a great actor. He befriends the extravagant Victor. But most of all, he falls in love with the beautiful Marta, a fellow student...

Alongside A Drowning Man, I Signed The Petition, 3 Logical Exits, and A World Not Ours, A Man Returned continues to paint a realistic portrait of the Refugee Crisis that eschews the Western gaze and stereotype. These are real portraits painted by a director with lived experience, cultural connection and an amazing eye for visuals.
At first glance, “The Good Liar” is a respectable piece of fiction, starring Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. But underneath everything, the film expertly hones the unpredictability of deceit.
This short film was an overall creative success.
