The rela­tion­ship that Varso­vians have with clams is sim­i­lar to the one that once joined canaries and miners. Both species can sense danger sooner than humans because they are much more sen­si­tive as regards many aspects. Eight com­plete­ly incon­spic­u­ous mol­luscs bear the respon­si­bil­i­ty for the health or even lives of hun­dreds of thou­sands of the city res­i­dents. It may seem that Julia Pelka, a Polish direc­tor, describes the com­plex­i­ties of the capital’s water supply system only, but in fact she depicts the subtle rela­tion­ship between nature, tech­nol­o­gy and human­i­ty employ­ing both sen­si­tiv­i­ty and a warm sense of humour.
