We’re All Christs

Middle-aged schoolteacher Adam is a recovering alcoholic and embarks on re-establishing a relationship with his son, Sylwester, by listening to the latter’s discussions about their lives. Adam is shocked to discover that they both have a different view of their lives, with Adam remembering only the good moments but Sylwester recollecting the depressive impact of his father’s alcoholism and his fear of becoming the same one day. The son’s confessions cause the father to reflect back on the saddest and most tragic episodes, which, ironically, he himself as a child experienced and forswore for his progeny.
