Poland2026fiction25'Short film competitionNational competition
Fahed, a Palestinian, has been studying film directing in Poland for several years. He is learning the ropes on the set of a production about the Second World War. For the time being, he is working as a sound technician’s assistant, but he soon gets the chance to take on a slightly different role. Although it is an unconventional choice, the young man agrees to play the role of a Nazi. He seeks support and guidance from a young actress with whom he is to perform an extremely difficult scene. During the shoot, the boundaries between fiction and reality begin to blur, and the protagonist will have to confront what he has been running away from.
