Nothing is Lost
Nic nie ginie · dir. Kalina Alabrudzińska
Poland 2019, 71’ · pre-release screening
25 October, 17:30 · Cinema City — room 8
The protagonists in the film are stricken with sadness. Life requires them to go through changes, but they would rather not. The prefer hiding in a thicket of leaves and everyday banalities. Since the world around them is beautiful and the weather is sunny, why should they not be reincarnated as a better and more joyful species? According to the director’s own words: “I hope that this film will make you laugh, even though it is rather sad, and you too will feel part of a powerful and important community ― the community of lonely people, just as the protagonists in my film.”
