The Yellow Scarf
Directed by Janusz Morgenstern
Produced by Telewizja Polska, Studio Filmowe Perspektywa
A tender, melancholic portrait of an alcoholic man's struggle toward redemption, anchored by familial love and the symbolic hope of a yellow scarf at Christmas.
The main character - a man who suffers from alcoholism - wants to change his tumultuous life. The day before Christmas Eve he receives a gift from his son - a yellow scarf. A gift is a kind of talisman he receives from loved ones, and every time he loses it. When after another banquet he falls into delirium, his ex-wife and secretary bring him to his mother. She helps him to sober up and arranges holiday celebration for two of them. She gives her son another yellow scarf, in belief that it will help him break the pernicious habit.
