Too Old for Fairy Tales

At the end of the film, Waldek has grown significantly from the boy we see at the beginning. His journey reveals that maturity is about understanding the complexities of life, including the gray areas of truth and love. Throughout the story, he learns that life isn’t always clear-cut and that people often hide their struggles out of love and concern. Waldek discovers that his mother’s lies stem from her desire to protect him and his father, showing that sometimes, the truth can be too heavy for children to carry. His experiences at his grandfather’s house emphasize the importance of forgiveness, the value of friendship, and the courage to face reality. In the end, Waldek accepts that growing up means facing uncomfortable truths and learning to navigate them with compassion and understanding. His journey concludes with him stepping into the world, more responsible and wise, ready to handle the uncertainties of adult life, no longer feeling too old for fairy tales but instead embracing the stories life has to tell.
