Director's Statement
OLEG is a man’s initiation into manhood. Looking from this perspective, it is very easy to understand the initial intention of Oleg’s actions, i.e. to go abroad alone and accept his financial abilities and personal weaknesses. In modern society, the question of initiation into manhood becomes increasingly important – men in their thirties are still lacking decisiveness. Oleg also portrays modern day slavery in the very heart of Europe – Brussels. Forced by various circumstances, people have to go to other countries to work in order to earn a livelihood, but the huge impersonal mechanism gives rise to the possibility of being exposed to inhuman conditions. Whatever Oleg’s character may be, no one deserves to end up under the physical and psychological terror that Andrzej uses on him.
