Photosensitive (Światłoczuła)
Photosensitive (Światłoczuła)

Agata has been blind since childhood yet approaches life with remarkable independence and appetite for experience. Robert is a celebrated photographer who sees the world for a living but has increasingly withdrawn from it. Their unexpected meeting challenges them both to reconsider what it truly means to see another person.

Seasons (Sezony)
Seasons (Sezony)

An egocentric actor confronts the collapse of his long-term relationship while performing in three very different theatrical productions. As the boundary between the stage and real life begins to disappear, heartbreak, absurdity and wonderfully intelligent humor collide.
A witty and affectionate look at love, marriage and the theater — and at the roles we play both onstage and in our own lives.

Through the Wall (Przez ścianę)
Through the Wall (Przez ścianę)

In the darkest years of Stalinist terror, two political prisoners held in neighboring cells begin communicating through the wall in Morse code. They cannot see one another, yet their secret conversations become a lifeline — and slowly turn into love.
Based on the extraordinary true story of Wiesława Pajdak and Jerzy Śmiechowski, this moving film explores the human capacity for love, hope and resistance under seemingly impossible circumstances.

No Ghosts on Good Street (Nie ma duchów w mieszkaniu na Dobrej)
No Ghosts on Good Street (Nie ma duchów w mieszkaniu na Dobrej)

Four siblings standing at the threshold of adulthood search for their own paths while navigating family bonds, secrets, personal crises — and a mysterious presence that may or may not be haunting their Warsaw apartment.
Tender, imaginative and deeply contemporary, Emi Buchwald’s feature debut captures the uncertainty of becoming an adult while trying not to lose the people who know us best.

Gorky Resort (Pojedynek)
Gorky Resort (Pojedynek)

It is 1939. A celebrated young Polish pianist imprisoned by the Soviets becomes the target of a determined agent who believes that breaking him will help break the spirit of his fellow prisoners. What follows is an intense psychological duel of manipulation, loyalty and survival against the machinery of a totalitarian state.

Altar Boys (Ministranci)
Altar Boys (Ministranci)

A group of teenage altar boys, frustrated by the indifference of adults toward injustice around them, decides to take morality into its own hands. Their unconventional mission begins with secretly listening to confessions and helping those they believe have been wronged — but youthful idealism soon leads them into increasingly dangerous moral territory.
