The film tells the story of two scrap pickers living in Łódź in the mid 90s: the eponymous hero Edi and his friend Jureczek. Edi spends his idle hours reading books found in the trash and, in spite of his difficult material situation, he has a very philosophical approach to life. His own life changes suddenly when two local mafiosi hire him to tutor their 17 years-old sister, the "princess", who doesn't care about school, being desperately in love with a man working with the "brothers". Edi feels sympathy for this forbidden love and once leaves the door opened. A couple of months later, when the brothers discover that the "princess" is pregnant, they swear a cruel revenge and the girl accuses Edi in order to protect her lover... This first feature film by Piotr Trzaskalski is based on a Zen tale telling the story of the tragic love between a princess and a literate tramp. (CinEast)

I don't know if it was the aim, but a similar type of movies is being filmed with the prospect of participating in a film festival and the prospect of receiving awards from film critics. The commercial potential of this film is minimal. A concentrated depression in a story about two homeless people who don't have the strength to defy fate. Sensitively shot, based on honest acting performances, with good camera work. An emotional story about how every failure carries some past behind. Overall impression: 70%.
