3 DEGREES OF SEPARATION
POLISH TITLE: 3 UŚCISKI DŁONI
Emil is a Polish teenager who travels to the city of Lodz to see his idol, the filmmaker David Lynch, because he read on the internet that Lynch is opening a film center there. In the train, Emil meets Dagmara, a young woman who tells him about the six degrees of separation theory - he knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody else... you can reach anybody in the world. Dagmara has come back from abroad to look for a job, and she in turn meets Beta, who dreams to be a model and wants to travel... How far are these young people from their dreams?
