The Walk

Jagoda Szelc
Spacer
Poland 2015 / 15’

A young man nervously traverses a city with a film crew seeking a safe place to share his story of escaping from the Donbas region. The story goes back as far as his childhood until his arrival in the camp. Little by little, the motivations and circumstances in which the protagonist made this, possibly the most important, life-altering decision come to the fore.
