    Strange Case

    Zbigniew Czapla
    Poland | 2017 | 13’30’’

    The film as a metaphor of life, the last surrealistic journey into consciousness. Stream of images, thoughts and memories. The sequence of protagonist’s personal experiences and collective memory. This film shows the monotony and the repetitiveness of human life, situations you cannot escape, failures you cannot avoid, and memories you cannot get rid of.
