Summary/Abstract: An interview with a young director, who is a co-author of Polish film "Ode to Joy", which appears to be an expression on the young generation of Poles migrating en masse into the West. The film perfectly fits in a popular topic: immigrants living in today’s "Risk society". It is also a picture of increasing disparities between the rich holders and the poor, and about forming mutual contempt. Komasa sees this situation as a result of capitalist injustice and free market practice. Rewarded on Polish film festivals, "Ode to Joy" is thus not a story about the escape of Poles, but about their aims to find the essence of the new capitalist Poland.
