Atlas

REŻ. Maciej Kawalski, 2017

Feature Film

Comedy / Drama

28 min

A strange patient gets admitted to a psychiatric hospital located somewhere at the edge of the world. As he stands motionless every day, with his hands raised, without saying a word, he has been given the nickname “Atlas”. The stories from “trusted sources” appear in the hospital – explaining who “Atlas” really is and what happened to him. The spiral of disinformation escalates quickly, so that the final confrontation of everyone with everyone seems inevitable. The situation’s tension rises like in the Kafka’s “Process” in which the judges are guilty of too many good intentions, while the accused one is completely unresponsive. At least for now.
