Stills from the film "Masha". Cinematographer: Michał Stańczyk
"Masha" is a story based on true events that took place in Poland. The director talked to Ukrainians who told him many shocking stories about working conditions for foreigners in our country, which inspired him in his work on the project.
We wish the best of luck to the entire film crew!
