The film contains previously unreleased material that visually depicts a private face of John Paul II. ->

 

 

 Several kilograms of photographs, some in nierozpieczętowanych even envelopes, and over 20 hours of amateur videos – all this was the basis for the implementation of full-length documentary. They directed by Maciej Czajkowski it together and Przemyslaw Hauser.

 

 - The film uses video materials constituting the record of private trips, conversations and meetings of Pope John Paul II. We will hear m.in .: memories of Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, secretary and friend of many years the Holy Father, who accompanied him for almost 40 years – from the time of Cracow, until recent days in the Vatican, Arturo Mari – personal photographer of John Paul II, as well as bodyguard Egildo Biocca and other people who had the opportunity to meet the Holy Father in less formal circumstances, when his private hiking and holidays – describe the creator.

 

 The document takes 71 minutes. It was carried out according to the scenario common authorship: Hauser, Tchaikovsky and Mark Rabbit, Przemyslaw Reichel and Peter Krasko.

 

 - In the moments for him, perhaps the most intimate, because during his mountain excursions around the Alps and Dolomites – he added. – All these materials makers of the film “Apartment” received from Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz. The photos were taken papal photographer Arturo Mari; own video camera filmed the papal butler, Angelo Gugel. Spending in the editing days and nights watching the recordings for the recording – we had no doubt that we got a priceless treasure – mentioned co-writer. In his view, “so far no one else has seen the Pope so absolutely personal”.

 

 - My favorite scene seems to be inconspicuous. The Pope goes mountain trail. The strong pace, relying on a thick stick. Passes accidentally met tourists – shocked by the fact that suddenly saw John Paul II. And he? He pulls from his head cap, bows and greets them, and then again goes ahead. As if he was not head of the Church with more than a billion faithful. And that’s the point. See his holiness, humility, kindness – in normality in everyday life – told Hare.

 

 On Thursday in Krakow during the pre-premiere show closest associates were present pope. That they were called “suite”. Able to create this group, among others, thanks to its extraordinary discretion. Yesterday evening, the cinema “Kiev”, but shared their memories and emotion after seeing so close to their hearts picture, it was a very delicate and marked by great respect for the privacy of the Holy Father. And actually flowed from sensitivity to silence, to the silence of good friends that you “see” in the film. Some of these friends, as we believe now accompanied John Paul II in a meeting with the greatest friend.

 

 The music for the documentary “Suite” composed by Radzimir Dębski. Among the film’s producers are John Paul II Center and TVP. Educational partner is the National Cultural Centre.
