FILM SYNOPSIS

In the dystopian corporate world, justice is served by AI. The human factor is only an illusion that makes citizens sleep a bit better. But at the same time, no one feels responsible for the rendered verdict, nor feels the need to investigate its trueness.

DIRECTOR SYNOPSIS

Piotr Naumowicz is a screenwriter and film director from Wrocław, Poland. From an early age, cinema had a profound impact on his imagination, allowing him to explore distant, unusual, and incredible worlds and stories. He consumed a wide range of films, from commercial hits to lesser-known titles, including classics of Polish cinema like “Ashes and Diamonds.”

During his student years, his passion for film not only grew but also transformed him from a consumer into a creator. This period was marked by significant changes in his life; he dropped out of Wrocław University of Science and Technology and enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts to study Photography and Multimedia. Photography, especially street photography, remains close to his heart today. He believes it enables one to observe the genuine, unfiltered nature of humanity, capturing fleeting and sincere moments.


In his filmmaking, he merges "observed truths" with crafted cinematic worlds. He has always been drawn to genre cinema, particularly science fiction, as it offers a way to convey complex truths in a more accessible manner. This fascination is evident in most of his works, albeit in various forms. As both a writer and director, Piotr strongly believes that a compelling story and well-developed characters are the most crucial elements of any film; without them, the movie would be nothing more than an empty shell.
