SYNOPSIS: Set just before WWI in Austrian occupied Poland, Zmory (Nightmares) is the story of Mikolag Srebrny, a rebellious, poetic-minded boy struggling to grow up in a society oppressed by church and state.

We first meet Mikolag at 12-years-old living in a suburb of Galizien with his father, a retired school teacher. Already at such a young age Mikolaj is suffering from nightmares, thanks in large part to the anti-sexual teachings of the Catholic Church.

Mikolaj's teachers consciously engage in many cruel acts, and the boy's only recourse is in poetry. Later, as an idealistic teenager, Mikolaj is finally able to grow beyond the emotionally cold upbringing from his ill mother, and do something to throw off hiss oppressive rulers.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Replace your old VHS copy that you couldn't understand with this remastered and subtitled version. Zmory is a strange film about a boy's strange life that's filled with sexual anxiety, cruelty and what direction to head when you're being pulled in every different direction. The non-subtitled version got tons of accolades when it was first released to a mainly English speaking audience, so, we assume, those compliments will carry over to this version. Enjoy your favorite meal in front of the TV with Zmory in your DVD player!
