ONE-EYED KING

Translation: AGNIESZKA STACHURSKA

It happens to everyone from time to time to sit at the table with people with whom they connect them or share difficult life stories. What if someone we meet for a meal together unexpectedly turns out to be our enemy? If we manage to like him, even a little, before we understand who he really is? Are we going to protest? Will we be able to forgive?

Lidia and Sandra do not ask each other such questions yet. For the time being, they are happy that after years they have the opportunity to meet, introduce their fiancés, reminisce. However, the evening will not go according to plan. A small detail will change the optics. And the course of events.

Is this a comedy? Did you come here by coincidence? Where you were shouting then, in the street, did you already know that this is how it would end? Have you ever had a dog? “Puppy?” Have you been like this since you were a child? “Did you become recently? Do you like Asian cuisine? Do you believe in the thread of life? Will you dream it? Did you like me at all? “A little bit?” Do you still hate? Do you regret being here? “At the table?” Will you protest? Are we angry? Do you love her? Do you know why she disappeared? “Has she disappeared?” Do you know where the eye that isn't there is now? Does he still see anything? Are we good? Can I forgive? Will you never forgive? Did you have, do you have, will you have all these answers?
