It’s Not My Film (99 min)
Wanda and Janek embark on a final attempt to salvage their relationship, setting off on a journey along the windswept, wintry coast of the Baltic Sea. Amid the frozen landscape, they confront their past and cling to the fragile hope of a future together.

8:00 PM
How To Be Loved (92 min)
Felicja (B. Krafftówna), a mature woman and actress, reflects on her tragic love from the occupation period during a flight to Paris. She once hid a fellow actor and friend (Z. Cybulski) in her home, a man with whom she had previously performed as Ophelia and Hamlet on stage. But during the war, there was no time for such pursuits. After World War II, Felicja appeared in entirely different, more bourgeois plays. Yet the memory of that secret, unhappy relationship remained in her heart.
