WANDA, 21min., Poland
Directed by Anna Baumgart
In 1948 on the Gardno lake near Szela village 21 girl scouts drowned. It was supposed to be a dream day. The girls wanted to see the sea. That morning they went to church, sleep-deprived - the previous night they had sat for a long time by the bonfire, busy discussing an old legend about princess Wanda who drowned in the rapid currents of Vistula river. Two adult chaperones and two men got into two boats with them. Nobody knows what really happened - was it an unfortunate accident, a murder or a collective suicide of teenagers? The essay is a fictional version of this event. Did the girls turn into seals and swim to the sea, to another future?
