It's not a perfect comparison, but I couldn't help but think of Albert Lamorisse's 1956 Oscar-winning short Le ballon rouge while watching Spacerek staromiejski (A Walk in the Old City of Warsaw). Instead of having a character chasing some inflatable plastic, however, director Andrzej Munk focuses on a school age girl who traverses the city and discovers all sorts of new and unusual sounds along the way. There's no dialogue as the cheeky lass interrupts a man's phone call and sprays a traffic policeman with water during her travels. It's nothing special, but not quite as annoying as the cloying Red Balloon.
