Atlas

Poland2018fiction28'Konkurs polski (2018)

Philosophy, humour, Tomasz Kot, Marian Opania, the music by Łukasz Targosz and the photographs by Paweł Dyllus in the film by Maciej Kawalski, a physician and film director, whose earlier shorts have been already noticed in the US. What secret is doctor Adam Prażmowski, aka Atlas, hiding? Day and night, he is standing with his arms up and remains stubbornly silent. Who is he? Why is he in this, slightly eccentric, psychiatric hospital? And what will happen when he lowers his arms?
