“The film is a short mood-piece inspired by the bittersweet atmosphere of Eastern Europe in the 1990s – where the everyday greyness of a summer day blends with the pursuit of joy and fleeting moments of freedom.” tells us filmmaker and photographer Aleksander Pukło.

Shot in Kraków’s Nowa Huta – “a district built at the peak of communism, with its strong working-class character and raw architecture” – the short film drifts between heaviness and lightness, routine and escape. Against this backdrop, Gabriela, a model from Łódź, moves through fragments of melancholy and playfulness: “ironing clothes in a smoke-filled apartment, sharing quiet pauses of intimacy, and slipping into small rebellions like smoking a cigarette in the bathtub.”

“The soundtrack was used to echo the cold yet nostalgic atmosphere of post-Soviet synthwave, drawing inspiration from the Belarusian band Molchat Doma.”

Hello from my planet! I love nature, freedom, dancing, traveling, music, reading, chilling, cats and the woods. What makes me happy is healthy food, a good night out, long walks in the forest and getting lost in the sound of nature.
