It's 1982: Poland is under martial law, and Solidarity is banned. Ulla, a translator working on Orwell, suddenly loses her husband, Antek, an attorney. She is possessed by her grief, and Antek continues to appear to her. She seeks to free herself in her work, in her relationship with her son, in sex, and in hypnosis. In a subplot, Ulla refers the wife of one of her husband's clients - Darek, a jailed Solidarity strike organizer - to Labrador, a world-weary, aging attorney, who works to free Darek by various political manipulations and psychological ploys.

The loose threads of narrative keep circling back to a through-line in the form of an ongoing debate between a young graduate lecturer, Jaroslaw (Piotr Garlicki) and an older, jaded professor, Jakub (Zbigniew Zapasiewicz) who are running a linguistics summer camp. Through their verbal sparring, Jakub is ostensibly attempting to convince Jaroslaw that his world-view, which largely boils down to youthful honesty, is not only naive but an ineffective way to navigate the politics of academia – and by extension the wider dynamics of the latter years of the Communist state. Of course, though, there are many more layers shifting beneath the surface in this densely textured treatise that both expounds and belittles its protagonists conflicting beliefs with equal gusto. ~Ben Nicholson

This short is a first look into the world of LAND OF GIANTS, where western, martial arts and giant creatures meet in a post-apocalyptic future.

After an apocalyptic storm reduced the world to ruins, Giants appeared, to punish those who would ever again lay their hands on the magic called "Electricity".
A long time ago Crutch (Mathis Landwehr) challenged the Gigants anger. His destroyed knee won't let him forget the day, they took everything from him.
So he ventured out to hunt and kill them...
