DESCRIPTION

„Right Side of Cello” is a documentary about an exceptional cello player Dominik Połoński. The film showcases an unusual relationship between the man and his instrument. It always accompanied the artists: in the height of his glory but also when he was forced to use a wheel chair. Despite all that, our hero is using the instrument to full capacity of possibilities. More and more composers write music just for one hand, especially for Dominik. It is a story about the struggle with the limitations of body and the will that allows us to defeat our weakness.
