Inspired by the short story by Booker Prize and Nobel Prize winning author Olga Tokarczuk, the latest film from director Kasia Adamik is a thrilling cat-and-mouse game set at the onset of Poland’s Martial Law era in 1981, starring Academy Award nominee and Tony winner Lesley Manville who plays an ordinary woman caught in an extraordinary situation.

Warsaw, Poland – December 13th 1981 – Martial law is imposed and overnight shuts down the country just as British psychiatry professor Dr Joan Andrews (Manville) arrives as a guest lecturer at the University. Taxis have been replaced by tanks; citizens are treated like criminals. But as chaos engulfs the city, armed with her polaroid camera, she witnesses a brutal murder by the secret police. In mortal danger and trapped as Poland is closed down, Joan becomes a hunted fugitive running for her life. 

Using her instincts and newly-formed connection with a young student (Zofia Wichłacz), Joan navigates the labyrinthine streets of Warsaw desperately battling against the clock to make the last plane out.

Presented by The Screening Room at 1313.
