The Third Part of the Night
Directed by Andrzej Żuławski
Produced by Zespół Filmowy "Wektor"
A harrowing psychological descent through Nazi-occupied Poland where a man's witnessed trauma fractures into surreal, nightmarish unreality.
Set during the Nazi occupation of Poland, the story follows Michał, who witnesses the murder of his mother, wife and child and then is hurled into a life that literally is not his own; a surreal world littered with trapdoors, doppelgängers and wormholes.
