The Venice Film Week is an annual week-long event showcasing independent films with an edge. The sole purpose of the event is to showcase and screen new and upcoming talent.
Running during, but independent from the Venice Film Festival (Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica), the Venice Film Week focuses on the unconventional, the unusual, the underground, the intuitive, the innovative, the minimalistic and the true artists of our time. This year amongs them is production of the Warsaw Film School.
Ewa (30) an introverted woman, comes home on her motorcycle after years of absence for her mothers birthday. Damian (25), Ewa’s younger brother, hasn’t spoken to his sister in a while, and their relationship has cooled as a result. Ewa’s father (50), takes care of their mother, a former painter, and is surprised at Ewa’s sudden arrival. Ewa tries to avoid her mother, until she’s finally ready to come head to head with her biggest fear.
