ZIMA
26'26'' | Directed by Tomek Popakul
Second director Kasumi Ozeki

It grows slowly as an icicle, but one day it drops and crashes.

Anka loves cats. And Jesus. In a winter silence the lagoon freezes and the unspoken resurfaces like crack on ice.
Mosaic portrait of a small fisherman's village where human to human, human to animal, animal to animal
interdepend on a delicate balance of warm tender care and cold emotional cruelty.
An eerie story of loneliness and community narrated with magical realism.
