WHEN THE LIGHT OF DAWN ARISES
feature film, 30 min.
The 60s. Poland. A coach trip: a group of office workers goes mushroom picking. The director announces a competition: the employee who finds the largest mushroom will get a bonus. The competition begins. However, it turns out that the trippers care more about buttering up their director than about the mushrooms.
