All That I Love (Polish: Wszystko, co kocham) is a 2009
Polish film directed by Jacek Borcuch. The film has been
selected for competition in the Word Cinema Dramatic
Competition at the Sundance Film Festival 2010. It was
also selected as the Polish entry for the Best Foreign
Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards but it didn''t
make the final shortlist.
All That I Love is a film about a young musician, Janek,
in a coastal city of Poland during the early period of
the Solidarity strikes, martial law in Poland,
manifestations, and general political turmoil. Janek''s
father is an official of the local military police, and
while he utilizes that connection to secure rehearsal
space for his punk band (in the officer''s hall of the
police barracks), he rebels against the official
repression of lycical freedom and political activism.
His love interest, Basia, is the daughter of an active
Solidarity member, who initially forbids Basia from
seeing Janek due to his governmental connections. They
continue to see each other secretly, and their romance
inspires Janek to send demos to a prestigious Polish
summer music festival. He is selected to play, but his
attempt to get his politically sensitive lyrics past the
state censor ends badly, and is forbidden from playing.
However, at the end-of-year concert, at which the censor
turns up personally to attempt to prevent Janek from
singing Solidarity-friendly songs to his classmates,
turns into a youth celebration of Solidarity.
