Meet Lampo, Zuzia’s friend
The literary prototype of the film “” was a book by Roman Pisarski written in the 1960s. The author was inspired by real events from Italy. There lived Lampo – Italian for lightning – a wise mongrel who could do a lot out of love for his guardians. Oblivious to difficulties and obstacles, he returned to the children he loved. Did they throw him off the train? Too bad, Lampo got in again and drove.
The creators of the modernized Polish film version of the story about the brave mongrel read Roman Pisarski’s book. The action of the film directed by Magdalena Nieæ takes place a bit here and now, but is a bit immersed in the past. The train station looks like it’s straight out of old photos, and Lampo, the train-riding dog, is an internet star.
