SIBLINGS
POLISH TITLE: RODZEŃSTWO
An attempt to picture a decaying relationship of two people involved in an affair who try to escape their past. A formal journey in three stages of: imagination - reality - memories. A desolate place in the mountains, a chalet and a clean-up. Both in the house and in the inner self. Lies and empty promises. Toxic love suppressed by roots and primary decisions. There is no diagnosis, only questions. Have you already found a new sibling too?
