In "Cwiczenia Warsztatowe",we see a documentary film crew filming views of Polish people on youngsters.A variety of answers are obtained as it is a question of honor of a communist society.There are some people who oppose all views about Polish youth.There are some people who present their frank views.We also get to see some people who refrain from speaking as they are afraid of expressing themselves in public.It appears from some scenes as if Polish people have some kind of fear which is preventing them from getting their voices heard.It is from some reactions that we can deduce that in the past there was some discipline in Polish schools.It is the older generation of Polish people that is extremely critical of young Poles.According to them Polish youth have a tendency to destroy everything.Marcel Lozinski films two views of the same reality.Is it a trick ? It might be a way to get closer to reality.It is shocking that no one knows a real answer to this question as the editing of the film was done neither with the knowledge of the participants nor without their approval.

Some questions about young people in Poland filmed nicely by veteran Polish cinematographer Jacek Petrycki, who may be best known as the cameraman for "Europa Europa".

I love the use of black and white. While it does not necessarily add anything artistic to the film, it does give it a different feel. Sort of an impoverished feel. And I love some of the responses. While the "I am in a hurry" response is typical, the idea that an opinion on such a neutral topic could be dangerous or wrong is interesting. Who doesn't have an opinion about kids today? The youth themselves are more talkative, and not in the most positive way. They say things like "we have no future" and "our prospects have been destroyed". Not in the cynical way of America's youth, but as though they really mean it. And, as Communism ended, perhaps they felt it deeper than most.
