After arriving at a holiday villa on an Italian island, bourgeois couple Adam (Dobromir Dymecki) and Anna (Agnieszka Żulewska) discover that the swimming pool is empty. The migrant worker sent to fix it suffers a deadly poolside accident, setting off a chain of disturbing events that shake the moral foundations of this seemingly-perfect couple.
Aesthetically sparse, with minimal dialogue and an enigmatic plot, Agnieszka Woszczyńska’s debut feature is a slow-burning character study that unfurls the power of denial. Silent Land debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, before picking up the FIPRESCI award for the International Competition at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival.
This screenins is followed by a Q&A with director Agnieszka Woszczyńska.
