A father torn between the dread of a fatal leap and the hope that his son may still be alive.

The Vistula River is hauntingly transformed into a purgatory for grieving father, Daniel, as he painstakingly scours each of its winding turns, pulled between the uncertainty of life and death in his search for any trace of his missing son, Krzysztof.

Director Michał Marczak intuitively lets his camera drift between the placid surface of Poland’s longest river and the murky secrets of its depths, mirroring the stoic façade and inner tumult of a father torn between hope and grief. As weeks stretch into months and years, Daniel’s search slowly expands beyond the physical realm, and into the digital world, when he begins to chart the darkened halls of his son’s online footprint in an effort to understand how systems of connectivity can lead a generation to the abyss of isolation.

The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
