Jacek Borcuch's film path is showing his own, everlasting search, rooted simply in human existence. First was acting, a certain experience replaced by philosophy - a space devoted to widening perception, understanding and experimenting faculties. Music is present from his early childhood (piano) - from classical education at the beginning to highly contemporary sounds sometime later. Direction, the following step, was a logical consequence of the previous paths. This is the area that enables him to encompass all his strengths, all kinds of arts he mastered. It is the opportunity to tell his own story and at the same time introduce it to wider audiences, into so-called impartial ground - this is something that engages him most.

Jacek Borcuch has written and directed feature films including All That I Love, which was a breakout success at the Sundance Film Festival. It has won numerous prizes at international festivals and was Poland's official Oscar entry in 2011.

Can a few seconds influence one's life? The answer is obvious: yes, one single, irreversible moment not only can influence, but entirely change it. The answer to the question that naturally follows is not so simple: How can it change one's life? The very moment when we start wondering about this dilemma, an amazing journey into the unknown begins, a journey into human imagination, where one's intuition and instinct are the guides. A dialectical way to approach this dilemma may seem a little trivial, or even naive, but immersing it in real, physical life brings it into a truly significant space, which in case of this story is fundamental. Lasting is a contemporary attempt to look closer at human condition in micro scale. Through the eyes of young people we observe the disintegration of their seemingly ordered world. The viewer finds himself emotionally attached to the destiny of the protagonists. Not in an imprudent way, simply by co-feeling and desiring to understand them. Together with the protagonists, or actually through them, we ourselves have the opportunity to face our own nature and ask more questions without answers.
