Only Until Dawn

Poland2022fiction27'Konkurs polski (2022)

‘Six months will pass by quickly’, hears 50-year-old Roma at a welfare centre in a large city. She already knows such excuses and assurances. Nevertheless, she will not return to her husband as she chose freedom and is now paying the price for it. ‘I understand you very well as a human and I want to help you but as a public servant I have to comply with procedures’, adds the woman from behind the desk and offers her a place at a homeless shelter. Only until Dawn is a well-balanced narrative with a social streak. The film focuses on homelessness among people who have just found themselves at a turning point in their lives and are left alone with their problems. How to escape from such a reality?
