KINGDOM, 8min., Poland
Directed by Jagoda Turlik
Past, Present, Future - Three orders determining the space of life. Distant, but without each other they do not constitute truth. They coexist as a sum, a stream of experience. The past stores memories, evokes sentiments, but also hides demons. There is no future, it may be dangerous. The present forces you to decide in what direction to go "here and now"
