In a Bedroom poster
5.0

Edyta is forty and in the midst of a crisis. She has left her family, her husband and son and their house on the Baltic Sea behind her. She spends her nights in a Warsaw hotel room and her days driving around the unfamiliar city. When she runs out of cash, she hatches a plan: An ad in the newspaper – sex for money. Edyta never lets things get that far though, as she drugs her clients and then uses their apartments as a refuge for the night. Then she meets an artist, Patryk. A smidgen of luck and Edyta can no longer maintain her dismissive attitude. In this enthralling character study, Tomasz Wasilewski uses filmic minimalism to ensure that glances and gestures say more than words. He portrays a lonely woman in both fragility and strength, using precise image composition.

Komodo Dragons poster
NR

Warany z Komodo is based on two parallel stories: a group of autistic adults living at Farm Life (a therapy centre near Krakow) and young parents Agata and Franek, who want to sacrifice their own son. We meet the characters in their everyday lives, works and ordinary behaviours, and question ourselves about the meaning of sacrifice in the secular world.
