The short film by Tadeusz Łysiak has been included on an Academy Award shortlist. Only fifteen titles are now competing for entry to the top five.
Produced by the Warsaw Film School, this short film tells the story of Julia. Working in a roadside motel, the girl succumbs to an overwhelming feeling of rejection and loneliness.
