Event Description

Set in Warsaw in 1981 the film follows British academic Joan Andrews (Lesley Manville) who is visiting a Polish university when a violent political protest erupts.  Caught up in the ensuing chaos, she witnesses a brutal murder by the secret police and captures the evidence on her Polaroid camera.  Finding herself now trapped behind the Iron Curtain, Joan is thrust into a deadly game of espionage involving student rebels and government operatives, where no one can be trusted and the consequences could spiral into World War III.

Based on a short story by Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk (Drive your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead), this gripping Soviet-era thriller features a mesmerising performance by Lesley Manville, with support from Tom Burke.
