FENCES
POLISH TITLE: PŁOTY
REPRESENTED BY KFF
A bird in a cage, a toddler in a playpen, two dogs on either side of a fence. Partitions of various sorts accompany our lives from the beginning to the end. Each of us deals with them in their own way. Does it really make sense to separate ourselves from our neighbours with a wall? The film is a reflection on the role of “fences” in our lives. The real ones as much as those which exist in our minds.
