About A Man Thing
13-year-old Bartek tries desperately to hide the fact that his father beats him. Lonely and with no support from his mother or his school, tyrannized by his soccer coach, the boy finds his only friend in an old dying stray dog.
Directed by Sławomir Fabicki, A Man Thing leans on a strong ensemble — Bartosz Idczak, Mariusz Jakus, Marek Bielecki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2001.
