THE OPENING
POLISH TITLE: OTWARCIE
REPRESENTED BY KFF
An artist with cancer planned his last performance for the day of his exhibition opening in a contemporary art gallery. His body connected to medical appliances is wheeled into the exhibition room lying on a bed. Lights are switched on and the camera starts working. Sipping wine, the guests walk next to the man in a coma. The greatest tension can be felt between the nurse and the gallery director.
