Anthill by Artem Rychaluk

edition 2022

FILM DESCRIPTION:

As a neighboring country, Poland has been a destination for Ukrainian workers and students for a long time now. In 2022, it also became the refuge from the war. The film tells the story of the Ukrainian minority in Poland from the perspective of the "Prząśniczka" hotel, which has been a temporary home for Ukrainians. Because of its location in the Lagiewnicki Forest, it appears to be a place out of time and out of this world. Its residents share stories about their daily lives: work, phone conversations with their loved ones, thoughts about the future, memories and dreams. The film is an attempt to answer the question about their place in the contemporary world.
