What the Sun Has Seen
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007]
Director: Michal Rosa, Country: Poland, Release: 2006, Runtime: 107

Unknown to each other, a little boy, a young teenage girl, and a man in his fifties named Jozef (Krzysztof Stroinski) are each desperate to raise a certain amount of money. Set in a large Silesian city in southern Poland, What the Sun Has Seen follows them in their determination to succeed in spite of all the obstacles and disappointments that befall them along the way, and eventually their lives begin to intertwine. Director Michal Rosa based his story on newspaper articles and scenes he observed on the street. Together these tales create a touching portrait of the struggle for human dignity in a land that still bears the scars of war.

Michał Rosa trained as an architect before graduating from the Radio and Television Department of the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. What the Sun Has Seen is his third feature film.
