CGiii Comment

An odd couple...colourful chalk and bland cheese. It's a wonder why they stick together.

What this film needed was not a grand public display of affection...but, with a subtle gesture, it would have made this relationship more endearing. In its defence, it is Poland - not exactly a haven for inclusivity!


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Choir rehearsal is in progress. Among the soloists were Karol and Henryk. Like most singers, the men live a fairly quiet senior life. They are a mature couple with many years of experience, but no one knows about it outside the walls of their apartment. One day they receive an invitation that will shake their carefully hidden everyday life.
