Edi is a touching and highly involving portrait of marginal characters who manage to confront their misery and–at least, briefly–somehow triumph over it. The film tells a story of two scrap pickers - Edi and his friend Jureczek. Edi is falsely accused by some local thugs of seducing their sister, and made to take care of her little baby. Zbieracz złomu Edie zostaje posądzony o gwałt na dziewczynie, której bracia rządzą jedną z dzielnic miasta. Zostaje za to dotkliwie ukarany, jednak bez słowa przyjmuje na wychowanie dziecko dziewczyny.	Set in the Polish countryside, Jasiek, who was once a teacher, is now the unkempt watchman of an abandoned farm. 10-year-old spitfire Mala, who has run away from her well-to-do folks in town, seeks refuge with him. And neither Jasiek nor Mala's parents can persuade her to return. Były nauczyciel pracuje jako stróż, pilnując skromnych reliktów techniki rolniczej. Jego towarzystwo stanowią miejscowy głupek oraz bezpretensjonalny młodzieniec. Dołącza do nich rezolutna 10-latka, która woli azyl pośród łąk od nowobogackiego domu rodzinnego.	(Based on the memoirs of Władysław Szpilman) A brilliant pianist, a Polish Jew, witnesses the restrictions Nazis place on Jews in the Polish capital, from restricted access to the building of the Warsaw ghetto. As his family is rounded up to be shipped off to the Nazi labor camps, he escapes deportation and eludes capture by living in the ruins of Warsaw. Adrien Brody, Christopher Szpilman The Monday, March 29th screening will be introduced by Christopher Szpilman, son of Władysław Szpilman; Mr. Szpilman will also take questions after the show. The Tuesday, March 30th screening of “The Pianist” will be introduced by Samuel D. Kassow, Charles H. Northam Professor of History and Department Chair; Professor Kassow will also take questions after the show. Bohaterem filmu jest Władysław Szpilman - znakomity polski pianista żydowskiego pochodzenia. W czasie II Wojny Światowej trafia do warszawskiego getta. Cudem udaje mu się uniknąć deportacji. Po likwidacji getta ukrywa się w ruinach miasta. Z pomocą Szpilmanowi przychodzi niemiecki oficer, który ratuje mu życie.
