A young filmmaker, a group of small-time criminals, troubled lovers and other eccentric characters cross paths over the course of a single day in Warsaw. Their seemingly unrelated stories gradually intertwine, culminating in a bizarre encounter over a meal of cauliflower that leaves them in an altered state of consciousness. A dark comedy with elements of crime and absurdity, Kallafiorr blends a 1970s aesthetic with an offbeat, independent spirit.

“Today, when I know what has come out of it, I can say that making my short movie, I immersed myself into Here and Now, or rather There and Then. After all, it’s been nearly three months. Even I find it amazing that I turned the camera by 180 degrees in my professional life.” – Jacek Borcuch.
