Academy Award February 22, 2015 Best Short Subject Documentary[2] Aneta Kopacz Nominated
I don’t feel dissapointed and a loser in any way. I made a film which moves people all over the world as a significant experience and event in their lives. A film which won numerous awards and was nominated for an Oscar! And finnally, a film which allows the memory of Joanna to survive and which will show her son Jaś what a simple day with his mom looked like. Nothing is lost here!
