It's Not My Film / To nie mój film (Poland, 2024) drama, romance, 100 min, en subtitles. Directed by Maria Zbaska, written by Maria Zbaska, with Zofia Chabiera, Marcin Sztabiński

A story that starts where most romantic movies end. We are way past the “they lived happily ever after”. Wanda and Janek love each other, but at the same time they cannot stand each other anymore. Their relationship is going through a permanent crisis like in most long-term partnerships. The crisis is not caused by any specific event – it’s rather a mixture of tiredness from the everyday routine and boredom. One day, when they finally hit a wall, they decide to do something about it. They set off on a hiking trip along the Polish Baltic coast. Strict rules – no phones, no whining – just the two of them. If they manage to obey the rules, they will stay together forever… and if they fail, they split up.

We accompany them in their funny, touching and sometimes thrilling make it or break it winter journey, along the rugged beautiful coast.

The film was presented at Vilnius IFF 2024, Transilvania IFF 2024 and New Horizons IFF 2024.
