Angel Giordano visits the souls in Purgatory far too often. He is fascinated with rock’n’roll and generally leads an outrageous lifestyle for an angel. He is sentenced to life on Earth, where he must perform at least one act of kindness a day. He winds up in Krakow, Poland. He is so deeply enchanted by its atmosphere that he asks his heavenly superiors to let him stay there. He meets Hanka, a single mother, who makes her living selling sausages in the street. Giordano eagerly assists her. Over time, though still regarding him as an eccentric, Hanka begins to trust him.
Awards: Four “Eagle” awards (Polish Film Awards), including the Best Polish Film award, in 2003. Artur Wiecek received the best director debut award for An Angel in Krakow at the 2002 Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.
