Jan Pawel Trzaska / Poland / 2022 / International Premiere / 14 min.


synopsis

Picture a Polish village in the middle of nowhere. In it, there are groups of peculiar, old, bearded men who spare no judgment on the world and themselves. While the coronavirus pandemic rages on in the outside world, life on the periphery moves as slowly as ever. The only difference now is that a new topic has been added into the mix of their existential debates.

“And people will drop like flies.”
