The Wind. A Documentary Thriller

Blowing several times a year in the area of the Polish Tatra Mountains, the halny wind is a raw and untamed force of nature, more than often turning into a destructive hurricane. Its ferocious cyclical strikes transform a stunning landscape of serenity into a true battlefield: the region’s inhabitants become restless and anguished, suicidal rates are on the rise, police interventions and hospitalizations are more frequent than ever. True to its title, this thriller-like documentary of existential proportions portrays the outward desolation and the inner scars induced by a wind that sweeps into people’s souls.
