Pójdziesz ponad sadem

A simple and unassuming social drama about a 17-year-old country boy&apos;s first steps in the city

I watched &quot;Pojdziesz ponad sadem&quot; (You will go over the orchard) on Polish TV and was touched by it because it distantly echoed my and my parent&apos;s experience of moving from a small village to the city. This migration of people from the countryside to the city was one of the most important social changes in post-war Poland. The plot is about 17-year-old Franek (Krzysztof Stroinski), who, after his father&apos;s death, leaves the countryside for the city to study, gain a profession, and fulfill his father&apos;s ambitions. After difficulties with adapting to the new environment, after overcoming the resistance of his older brother who remained on the father&apos;s land and after not very successful first attempts at love, Franek passes his high school leaving exam and the entrance exam to university. I think that some of the outstanding features of &quot; You will go over the orchard&quot; are the striking debut of Krzysztof Stroinski, the director&apos;s realistic portrayal of the working-class environment and countryside environment, and the film&apos;s optimistic message. The film is a bit similar to the later, popular series with Krzysztof Stroinski &quot;Daleko od szosy&quot; (Far from the highway), and should appeal to anyone who remembers and likes that series.
