Only ten lucky pianists make it to the final of the International Chopin Piano Competition held every five years in Warsaw, Poland. Pianoforte follows an eclectic group of young musicians from around the world who have prepared since they were children for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Filmmaker Jakub Piątek captures the intense pressure these musicians face in an experience that combines tears of exhaustion and despair with the ecstatic joy of playing.

The life of Zuzia, whose dad works on the railway, changes massively when Lampo, an extraordinary travelling dog, joins the family.
In his sympathetic portrait, director Łukasz Kowalski shows how money problems threaten to drive apart an enterprising couple - to tragic, heart-warming and sometimes highly amusing effect.
