Spitsbergen
Poland2017fiction24'Konkurs polski (2017)
An urgent call to Magda (Magdalena Czerwińska), a suspended paramedic, throws her right back into the middle of dramatic events and human tragedies. Yet, when adrenaline drops back to normal, memories connected with her journeys to Spitsbergen start to haunt her. The freezing Norwegian island becomes tantamount to a trauma that she needs to deal with. Magda, however, is not fully prepared to confront tragic current events and her own past at the same time.
