Pulled from the Cannes competition in the same year that Poland declared martial law, Piotr Szulkin’s tale of alien invasion is a blazing satire of the media machine. Dedicated to H.G. Wells and Orson Welles, this noir-inflected sci-fi is an eerily prescient interrogation of the fake-news era.

A weary engineer and aspiring writer dives into his own noir-inspired fiction, roaming a city's streets as a detective looking for a mysterious envelope.
