    The protagonist of “Mów do mnie” is 21-year old Krzysiek, a marijuana addict who lives in Warsaw's Monar. The film is not another narrative about addiction, it tells a story of the relationship between the protagonist and the director; an unusual example of how life enters film, putting both the protagonist and the author in a difficult situation. It is a story about a feeling being born, about fighting one's weaknesses, and also about growing up. This topic, close to many documentary filmmakers, in “Mów do mnie” is both universal and full of individual tension. The documentary talks about how the creator becomes the protagonist of her own film, and about the weight of responsibility both for oneself and for the other person.
