Double Trouble

69' 2025
dir.: Emilia Śniegoska

A depopulating Polish village in the Romanian Carpathians: a touching film about memory, friendship and the passage of time.

A tender story of friendship between two women living in a fading Polish village in the Romanian Carpathians. Hanka and Bronka have buried their husbands, and their children have long since left for better lives abroad. Independent and self-reliant, they radiate resilience and humor even as their world inexorably fades into the past. What remains are memories of times that will never return and the strength they find in facing everyday struggles together. This nostalgic portrait of a vanishing world glows with unpretentious warmth and stunning visuals that capture the quiet beauty of the Carpathian foothills. With an eye for detail, the director crafts a moving meditation on memory, friendship, and the passage of time. By showing people who can be everything to each other, she encourages us to re-evaluate our priorities and reconsider reality.
