[ŚNIEGU JUŻ NIGDY NIE BĘDZIE]


U.S. Premiere; 2020 Oscar® Selection, Poland.


On a grey, foggy morning in a large, eastern European city, Zhenia, a masseur from the East, enters the lives of the rich residents of a gated community. Using magical, hypnotic techniques to get a residence permit, he starts working. The well-to-do residents in their cookie-cutter homes seemingly have it all, but they all suffer from an inner sadness, some unexplained longing. The mysterious newcomer's hands heal, and his eyes seem to penetrate their souls. To them, the Russian accent of this attractive man from the authentic, exotic East sounds like a song from the past, a memory of their seemingly safer childhoods. The latest from writer/director couple Małgorzata Szumowska and Michał Englert (MUG) is an unclassifiable meditation on modern Europe's issues of class and immigration, with touches of magical realism and moments of sober beauty and subtle humor. (Note adapted from Lava Films.) Official Selection, 2020 Venice Film Festival.
