THE GHOST
Andrzej has completed a two-year course at the center for former prisoners in Silesia, the mining region in Poland, which was intended to bring him back into society after detention. However, it turns out that the society does not forget about the past. The landscape outside Andrzej’s room window and the repeating sound of the voicemail intensify his loneliness.

THE DELUGE. POSTSCRIPTUM
Despite the anti-Semitic campaign in the late 1960s, director Jerzy Hoffman completed the film Colonel Wolodyjowski. It became a gateway to The Deluge, the most expensive film in the history of Polish cinema.
The Deluge: Postscriptum takes a look behind the scenes of the creation of film and the colourful life of its creator.
