Polish Film Showcase – “It’s Not My Film”

“Our relationship reminds me of the charger cable that dog bit. Well… it’s still loading” – says our protagonist – Wanda. It’s not my film is a story that starts where most of the romantic movies end.

We are way past the “they lived happily ever after”.

Wanda and Janek love each other, but at the same time they cannot stand each other anymore. Their relationship is going through a constant crisis, like most long-term relationships.

The crisis is not caused by some outstanding event – it’s more of a mixture between everyday life and boredom. One day, when they finally hit a wall, they decide – let’s take a walking trip along the Polish Baltic coast. Strict rules – no phones, no whining – just the two of us. If they manage to obey the rules, they will stay together forever, but if they fail, they part ways.

We accompany them in their funny, touching and sometimes thrilling make it or break it winter journey along the coast.
