Alam-Sileesias on kõik söekaevandused suletud. Lukasz ja tema vanem vend Jacek kaevavad sütt hoolimata keeldudest, oma elu tõsisesse ohtu seades. Raske majandusolukord paneb neid otsima tööd ning leiba. Vennad ei hooli politseist, kes seaduserikkujaid pidevalt jälitavad. 
Pärnu Festivali peaauhind  aastal 2009.

In Waldenburg, situated in the Lower Silesian Coalfield, all mines are closed down. Lukasz and his elder friend Jacek have been digging coal at their own risk for several years now. Like hundreds of other former miners, they are illegally digging black gold on the outskirts of their city. The local police are constantly after them. The miners have also been trapped in the tunnels for several times. But they keep going.

Igal hilisõhtul suletakse piiripunkt India ja Pakistani vahel. See on ainus ületuskoht 1000-kilomeetrisel piirilõigul. Mõlemal poolel kogunevad tuhanded inimesed vaatama piiri sulgemise rituaali, mis on kujunenud omamoodi pidustuseks. Mida aga tähendab kahe rahva lahutamine, sellest annab filmi autor teada poisikeste suu läbi, kes müütavad piiriväravate juures DVD-kettaid ning saavad päris hästi aru suures ilmas toimuvast.
Auhind parima teadusliku audiovisuaalse jäädvustuse eest  2009. aastal.

Each late evening the only checkpoint between India and Pakistan on a 1000 km stretch becomes the sight of an extraordinary event. Thousands of people gather to witness the ritual of closing the border after which the masses get as near as possible to the gate to greet their former neighbours.
This extraordinary “festival” is therefore on one hand a celebration of the partition but on the other hand the only connecting element between separated people. What do the terms separation, home and proximity mean to the people on both sides? Three kids who are selling DVDs at the “festival” bring us closer to the truth.

Biswajit on 15-aastane poiss, kes elab väikeses savionnis India külas Dimirisenas. Ta on üks neist lastest, kes on üles kasvanud pühakojas ning maast-madalast õppinud koos teiste poistega tantsima
Shiva auks. Vastavalt grimeerituna ning naiste riietuses esindavad nad Shiva armukesi. Iga Biswajiti päev möödub väsitavates treeningutes. Kuid tema Gotipua period hakkab läbi saama ning peagi lahkub noormees templist. Tal on raske ette kujutada elu väljaspool pühakoda. Biswajit palub jumalat, et see juhiks teda uuel teel.
Auhind parima film põlisrahvaste jäädvustamise eest  2009. aasta festivalil.


 

Biswajit is a 15-year-old boy who lives in Dimirisena, a small mud hut village in the Indian state of Orissa. He is one of the last Gotipuas, the sacred children given to the temple at birth where they spend their childhood learning to dance in honour of Lord Shiva. With make-up and feminine clothes they represent the Devadasi, the Lord’s lovers.
Every day Biswajit follows an exhausting training routine. But his time as a Gotipua is almost over and he will soon leave the temple. The boy can’t imagine what life could be outside the temple, he can’t imagine a life without dancing, his unique purpose in life. He asks God to show him a new way.
