CICHA ZIEMIA
SILENT LAND
Trailer
So the mood is already distant anyway. The pool is being repaired by an illegal migrant worker from North Africa who dies during the work. Who is responsible? The landlord lets things go in one ear and out the other, the police is overwhelmed, Anna and Adam decide to ignore the incident, but of course that's impossible. Razor-sharp concept film about responsibility and ducking away from responsibility, poor communication, prejudice and the arrogant relationship between the North and the South.
