Few movie that I have seen make my think so much about the European history as Anna Konik ‘s “Under the placid Sky” that is a very local stories only shoot in a certain small arias on the Polish Silesian town Dobrodzien that before war world 2 was name Gudnetag. It was quite a typical small eastern German town with Poles, Silesians that have a different dialect, German and some really important Jews family that lived there. The Jews community become slaughter in war work 2 by the German and after the end of war world 2 the communist took a lot of ethical Poles living near Leov in Ucraine and they were put again in this town. The main task of the film is to show how wrong it is with historical demesia and how important it is to remember what happen mostly via the oral tradition the small histories and destiny of people that lived in a small place . Sometimes this stories are even said in third person like the one of the Haper and wallfy Jews family that consider themselves like German and had some really cool episodes when their great children remember some history that could have been but wasn’t done . On of the most inserting figures that we meet in the work is a film projectionist that talks about his mouve from today Ukraine that was eastern Poland to this city. All this talks are like a river or a flow that remember to us about this time. It is a relaly piece of art that helps us to understand and remember a capital of the European history.
