In The Circle

Poland2022fiction23'Konkurs polski (2022)

In winter, a young woman dressed in a fur coat is carrying a stuffed toy in the shape of a frog. She is looking for the address where she will soon run the circle, i.e. workshops for women in which they openly talk about their emotions. This edition is attended by only three participants: Kinga, Gosia and Milena. The last minute news is that the facility owner has let homeless Ela in so that she can warm herself up. Will her presence influence the female circle? What are the boundaries of human openness or tolerance? And what is the role of the giant green stuffed toy called Mr Frog in all this?
