As a foreigner in Poland, I often experienced a rollercoaster of emotions ranging from excitement, fear and even loneliness. I began my pursuit to find out whether these feelings were universal or I was simply broken
I made this short film during the Covid -19 pandemic as majority of the world was stuck in their houses.
