We are pleased to announce that I am not here and Coldness have been selected for the competition at the Szczecin Film Festival!

What’s more, Coldness has also been officially selected for this year’s Etiuda&Anima Festival!

Coldness, Directed by: Lena Jaworska | Cinematography: Daniel Le Hai | Production management: Kamil Warszawski

Podlasie, near the Polish-Belarusian border. Thirty-year-old Paweł lives in constant haste, struggling to balance his job at a frozen food factory with caring for his dying father, for whom there is no room in the local hospice. He receives a warning from social services—signs of neglect are visible on his father. When a Syrian immigrant, Ali, is hit by Paweł’s car, Paweł decides to make a risky deal: he will shelter Ali from the border guards and help him cross into Germany if Ali helps him care for his father. Despite prejudice, differences, and the language barrier, the two men must learn to cooperate.
