Wrony (aka Crows) 1994 gives us a stunning depiction of childhood. The movie follows a nine year-old child through one day in a gritty, open, and non-judgmental way that reminds of Ratcatcher, A Real Young Girl, and Petits Freres ... and maybe Ponette a little. The story is profoundly simpler than any of them, however; and in its simplicity it reaches deeper inside the child than any of them.
In Wrony, the central place is given to a little girl, against the background of a small town. It is a film about love, but this time about the absence of it. Wrona, the skinny and mouthy girl of a fragile build with a face of both an innocent and a scamp, kidnaps another little girl (Malenstwo) from the neighbourhood. She does so in order to find someone to love and to be loved herself.
