Deportacja
(Deportation)
In the snow-covered, austere landscape of a Polish town, a young North African seeks elusive comfort. The soup he eats at the local Arab restaurant doesn’t taste like the one back home, his flat is sadness itself and his future doesn’t look too bright. After witnessing the ‘lucky’ deportation of a friend, Halim attempts to commit an offence in order to be repatriated. He hadn’t counted on meeting a pretty Slav policewoman… Peppered with black humour and using an absurd ambiance and style à la Kaurismaki, the script unfolds with striking visual elegance. (FM)
