Hanna Slak's Blind Spot vividly explores the emergence of a new sort of refugee, an entire generation of young people displaced by economic development and new market values. Gladki, a heroin addict in a state of semi-consciousness, has escaped the hospital and calls Lupa for help that he then, in the violent throes of chemical withdrawal, rejects. Finding redemption in the role of caretaker, Lupa slowly shuts herself away with Gladki in a tiny rented room. Dreamy nostalgia for an innocence lost permeates and buoys this intimate tale of great hope walking hand-in-hand with great despair.


"My intention was to show the struggle of a girl determined to save someone she loves. What was to be a noble quest turns into a painful journey, as the main character rejects any help from outside. She perceives the world as hostile and frightening and slowly turns into an escapist herself, taking refuge in an isolated room and in her dream world."
Hanna A.W. Slak


An impressive, intimate drama about outcasts who fight for their lives in their own ways, even though they have already resigned.
