Toto

Klaudia Bochniak
Poland 2023 / 6’10’’
This Is Not a Bath Untouched

A large monkey from Bielawa, a roaming puma in Lesser Poland, a snow panther seen in Upper Silesia. Toto, the escaped circus tiger, finds himself in the company of wild animals causing panic as wide as Poland itself. While seemingly following the predator's fate, director Klaudia Bochniak humorously observes the small-town community terrified by the prospect of the predator's appearance. But perhaps more than the tiger, the characters are afraid of themselves?
