Director’s Name: Maciej Zdrojewski
Writer’s Name: Maciej Zdrojewski
Producer: Kamila Boruc-Adamska | TRUSKAVKA PRODUCTION HOUSE
Country of Origin: Poland
Country of Filming: Poland
Language: English
Runtime: 3 minutes 38 seconds
Film Description:
Baby You is a poetic short film, balancing on the edge between reality and dream, intimacy and distance. In a short, intense format, it explores the fleeting moments that define interpersonal relationships. The film explores the inner child—who we are—using minimalist language and subtle narrative. The script was inspired by an artistic installation of a massive, 34-meter balloon shaped like a sleeping child. The installation, created by the PRZEKRÓJ Foundation, is a metaphor for the potential that lies within each of us and reminds us of childhood joy, wonder at the world, and the ability to fully experience the moment.

1991. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, international tensions in the world seem to have

(Italian military security intelligence service) is on the trail of Paolo Dinucci, a former
Italian carabiniere; Natalino Francalanci, a Tuscan leather trader; and Luigi Rampone,
an electronic engineer from OTO Melara (a company linked to Italian Defense).
The three are smuggling sensitive information to be resold to Bulgarian intelligence
services and the KGB.
Pago and Rice, on the other hand, have returned to their lives in Cesena, while Bibi
for six months now, continues to commute between Italy and Sofia having become
engaged to Yuliya, a Bulgarian girl.
Prompted by his new girlfriend, Bibi brings Yuliya to Italy so that she can finally meet
her family and her two closest friends. Yuliya, however, finds herself under blackmail
by officials in her country and, during her stay, secretly meets with Dinucci.
Unaware that the man had already been under surveillance by SISMI for some time
now Italian agents also follow the woman’s trail.
A few days later, in the spirit of wanting to relive old adventures, Pago and Rice
decide to leave again with Bibi and Yuliya for Bulgaria thus setting off a spiral of
misunderstandings that will make the three friends appear to be international spies.
The three, caught up once again in a series of unfortunate coincidences, now head
for Sofia. They will experience a journey full of encounters, emotions and twists and
turns. A film about discovering old, distant worlds that continue to exude a history not
to be forgotten.
