FROZEN STORIES
POLISH TITLE: OPOWIEŚCI Z CHŁODNI
“Frozen stories” is the grotesque tale about the young girl and boy who work at the same supermarket. As the worst employees of the supermarket they have been ordered to find a purpose of their lives and in just two days start a better, brand new life. All of the sudden a popular television show aims to help them to complete the task. The film is a perverse story, set at the background of the coolest supermarket’s corners, that shows the deep loneliness of two outsiders and their desperate struggles to escape from lives they used to live. The film was made as a graduated film in the Polish National Film School in Lodz.
