Paulina Skibińska’s film is an interesting mixture of documentary film and experimental elements. The director creates a unique depiction of a search that is taking place in-between two worlds – an ice desert and an underwater world. The entire story is told from various perspectives: from the view of the rescue team, of the diver who enters the ice-covered reality, and of the ordinary people waiting on the shore. The rare juxtaposition of images establish the pace and extraordinary atmosphere of the film. The picture has been produced as part of the „Pierwszy Dokument” program and has been screened at many international and Polish festivals (Camden, Saint Petersburg, Sundance Film Festival, Wrocław, Poznań).
