ANATOMIA
O.V in Polish subtitled in Spanish and English
Mika returns to Poland to visit her father, whom she hasn't seen for 20 years since he suffered a brain injury that makes him believe she is still a teenager, and that they still live together. Submerged in a kind of emotional stasis, Mika wanders like a ghost through what is left of her life there, in a country that neither remembers nor forgets its past. Featuring a mise-en-scène where the off-scene is essential, as well as a collage of images from Infrared cameras, home videos and archive material, this highly original debut film guides us through the journey of a woman's reunion with her own emotions and her unresolved grief.
