Mandatory Presence

A commentary, full of irony and grotesque, on the socio-political and pandemic reality of Poland. The protagonist is a lonely middle-aged man. He barely moves into a claustrophobic apartment, and all of a sudden ... the end of the world arrives. The following weeks pass, he is pursuing more and more absurd activities, interspersed with post-apocalyptic visions. Personal, or even intimate, themes are mixed with insights of a more universal nature. The distinctive form and sharpness of the reflections make one want to talk about this film. And the louder we laugh, the more it can hurt.
