Der Angriff der Gegenwart

The Blind Director

A young Polish woman saves the treasures of the nation’s film heritage, an employee finds herself redundant, busy people rush around the world, a young mother fights against the lack of education that endangers her son, and a filmmaker goes blind. The main character is time: it is History and the past, but also what is riveting humans in a disproportionate present.”
