How to Disappear Completely



Przemysław Wojcieszek : 2014
Jak całkowicie zniknąć

Gerda meets Little Robber Girl in the Berlin subway. There's only ten, twelve hours until they'll part ways. The attraction between them blossoms into a love affair. But still there's a sea of the city to float by night. The camera follows the girls around all night long, placing particular emphasis on the city and its nightlife. It's about colours, flickering lights, rush, the sounds and smell of a summer night. There's poetry and music coming from the streets and we read the verses aloud keeping ourselves in a constant motion. Everything passes and dies every minute, as life is a never-ending sequence of things we hold on to for a moment and they go forever. As dawn breaks, the girls' infatuation seems to fade away, like a fleeting dream. Przemysław Wojcieszek's psychological drama premiered in competition at New Horizons International Film Festival, Wrocław 2014.
