What Run Boy Run Is About

Jurek, eight years old, escapes from the Warsaw ghetto and tries to survive alone in the woods. To avoid being caught he invents an identity as a Polish orphan, moves from farm to farm working as a labourer, and over time starts forgetting his own name. Working from a true story, Pepe Danquart reduces the war to a child’s daily business: finding food, keeping the identity intact, finding somewhere to sleep. He trusts the events rather than inflating the feeling. Kamil Tkacz plays Jurek.
