synopsis

Do Matki is a poetic documentary about Adam and Piotr, adult twin brothers with a cognitive disability, living in a care home nestled on a hill in the Polish countryside. While the institution provides peace and structure, it also imposes a quiet isolation and a deep sense of longing for a family that feels out of reach. Like many of their fellow residents, the brothers yearn for love and recognition, especially from their mother. This silent yearning shapes the film’s emotional course as Adam and Piotr prepare for a pilgrimage to Częstochowa, a city known for its devotion to the Black Madonna, but also the place where their mother lives.
