Utilizing fragmented narrative, Maciej Pieprzyca's Splinters, attempts to find what is common in all of us. A tale that follows the lives of three unrelated people - Robert, Marta, and Bartek - living in a small mining town. Robert is a lower class, former soccer player who now spends his time getting into trouble and supporting his local team. Marta is a wealthy socialite whose perception of the world is confined to the walls of the gated community she lives in. And Bartek, is characterized by his shrewd ambition which alienates him from his friends and family. In a disjointed chronology reminiscent of films by Krzysztof Kieslowski, we are taken through one momentous day in these people's lives that will change how they see the world. Pieprzyca confronts each character with its own values, revealing each one their own shortcomings. Splinters is an engaging film that stresses the need for empathy, and recognizes the need to look beyond ones' own context.
