This film has a pre-recorded Q&A with the filmmakers following the program.
Synopsis: When Yanek and Marzena, a married couple whose passion has been slowly dwindling, decide to seek the help of a therapist to reignite their flame, they become enmeshed in a web even more complex than their marriage. What they believe to be a peaceful couple’s retreat soon turns into a perplexing nightmare. The serenity of the setting offsets the distressing plot, creating a dynamic film that leaves you questioning reality as you witness their questionable therapist, Henryk, maneuvering the couple to confront their demons in a most unconventional manner. A feeling of eeriness permeates the entire film as we watch the tension between the protagonists build with every scene. Exquisite cinematography and an innovative screenplay come together to create a story about psychological manipulation that makes director Piotr Dylewski’s film enthralling and hard to forget.
Director's Bio: Piotr is an enthusiast of kickboxing, black humor and tom yum soup. He is a psychology graduate, film director, and a conversation lover— especially with taxi drivers at different latitudes. As a director, he intends to work with every film genre. CONSTRUCTOR is the result of an affair with the sci-fi genre. ROTTEN EARS is a totally independent movie that was created from the guts.
