Synopsis

"Twists of Fate" is a story of two contemporary generations of Poles: students and their parents, unable to communicate with each other. They are divided not only by the emotional gap, but also history assessment and moral dilemmas they go through. Bartek, a student earning a living writing theses, one day comes into possession of a coat and a briefcase left in a train by one of its passengers. When he hears the phone ringing in a pocket of the coat, the boy does not hesitate to pick it up. Since that moment his life begins to change.
