  • Film Director: Marcin Bortkiewicz.
  • Scriptwriter: Marcin Bortkiewicz.
Marek lives with his mother and grandmother. He's given a video camera and decides to make a non-fiction film about his Gran. She agrees, but only on condition that he fulfils her dream and lets her play a vampire in a series of home horror movies. As time goes by, Marek notices that she's beginning to make mistakes about the dates and facts of her life story, mixing up what happened and when it happened. She's slowly losing her memory. He realises that he's now making a film that is completely different from the one he set out to make. And thanks entirely to his camera, he discovers something about himself. Something which, in all likelihood, he would really rather not have known.
