Distant Lights
Drama
Lichter is an episodic tale from Hans-Christian Schmid about the life on the border between Germany and Poland. The film sheds light on the everyday stories of escape and desperateness.
VIBE
A stark, unflinching look at lives teetering on the edge. It feels like a cold wind blowing through a forgotten border town, where hope is a scarce commodity and survival is a daily battle. Unsettling and profoundly human.
