How would you encourage me to watch this film?

(laughs) Do you have to be encouraged at all? I can’t be an advocate of this film, but as for the encouragement, I certainly regard the young actors debuting in this film as interesting. Generally speaking, everything Jacek Boruch does is amazing, exceptional.

How do you feel playing the father? For actresses it’s probably a difficult moment, to start playing the roles of mothers.

It’s not my first role of this kind, but seeing those boys on stage I understood that I’m not a young man anymore.

Do you identify with the young heroes?

To some extent, but not as much as Jacek, although I was of their age at that time. I don’t have such a fondness of myself from that time… I remember it less.

Do you think that today’s teenagers identify with them?

The film’s not only about those times; actually, it’s a story about emotions, about the things everybody experiences at that age: first love, adolescence, initiations. It’s common for all of us. Apart from some details of scenography, we didn’t do much to make it look older than it is. The film is quite contemporary, even in the circumstances that are not so obvious for everyone today. It doesn’t create the historical distance, like ‘Reverse’, which is a stylized film. ‘All That I Love’ is about those times, about youth and adolescence.
