Erupcja

A romantic vacation goes wrong when a volcanic eruption traps Bethany and her boyfriend Rob in Warsaw. Bethany, who is having doubts about her relationship, sees the eruption as a sign to leave her past behind and seeks out her childhood friend Nel again. Together they wander through the bustling nightlife of Warsaw and get entangled in an emotional web that puts her self-image to the test. Commentaar Ook even though Charli XCX is a global star, director Peter Oh still managed to shoot this film in Warsaw on an extremely low budget and with very little time (one week!). Without a fully written-out script, there was plenty of room for improvisation, and that spontaneity is palpable throughout the entire film. A delightful, playful mosaic film, or, as Charli XCX described it on Letterboxd, a “little poem for Warsaw”.
