Our fates intertwine, even when we are scattered across the world. Sometimes a scent, a touch or simply being in the right place is enough to change our lives for ever. Our stories connect, even though we seem to have nothing in common. A man haunted by the scent of the woman he loves after a painful break-up. Young parents facing the question of their newborn child's difference. A mother struggling with the urge to take revenge on the man who harmed her son. Two identical women whose lives turned out completely differently. And a man who loses his memory after an unfortunate accident, and with it his feelings for those closest to him. Each of them goes through a moment of trial in which they must redefine themselves and discover what truly matters. Stany splątane is a tale woven from stories in which everyone will find a piece of themselves. Janusz Leon Wiśniewski, a master of storytelling about emotions, writes with great sensitivity and insight about what happens to each of us when primal emotions rule us. He reflects on loneliness, a sense of alienation and a longing for closeness. In Stany splątane he teaches us how to notice more, feel more deeply and understand better.
