🎬 MovieFinder's Take
"Желание жить" (2013) tells its story without decoration: humanity here is weakness and strength at once.
If you want cinema that leaves a mark — not entertains, but reaches — this is it.
For viewers for whom it matters that something stays after the credits.
Director: Maciej Pieprzyca

Viewing atmosphere: solo or with someone close — not for a big crowd.
