Second Hand
Second Hand Book
Antykwariat / Maciej Cuske / Poland / 2005 / 28 min / Polish
A second-hand bookstore is most often associated with a peaceful visit, and the quiet time-travel among the dusty old books. This one in Warsaw, however, is entirely different. People come here not only for the books, which must be dug out with difficulty from the piles covering this small space. Customers are mainly regulars, treating the bookstore as a place to meet, chat and share their troubles. The owner, Krzysztof, watches over everything. Like a doctor, he seems to know what's ailing whom, and what his customers need.
