One day she notices that something strange is happening to him…A short film about our desire to see someone else in those closest to us, and about how easy it is to lose oneself, when our imagination is confronted with reality.

‘Łańcuszki’ by Alicja Błaszczyńska, artistic supervision: Mariusz Wilczyński, Joanna Jasińska. The story of five people who are viewed as outsiders by the world. What if their obsessions have a greater meaning than one could ever imagine? Maybe they know something about the world which ‘normal’ people are unable to perceive…
