LONDON

Synopsis

Blurring the lines between fiction and documentary, this highly personal film looks at what it is like to be an outsider in London. The director examines his first impressions of being in the city through a series of fragments, mixing observational re-tracings of the past, re-enactments, and pure fantasy.

The film was inspired by motives from Franz Kafka's short story 'Children on a Country Road'. It traces a journey through the solitary landscapes of the Polish Bieszczady region, an area that was densely populated before WWII. The film was shot with a small German-Polish crew, and all actors are local people.
