WINTER OF THE CROW

POLAND, LUXEMBOURG, UK | 2025 | COLOR | DCP |112’ | ENGLISH, POLISH

In the freezing cold of December 1981, a British professor of psychiatry arrives in Poland to give a lecture. The day after her arrival, she finds herself trapped without a passport, unable to speak the language, and with no hope of escape in a country where martial law has just been declared, the borders are closed, and tanks flood the streets. As she fights for her life and searches for a way to escape Poland, the professor will have to radically question her values and ethics. An exquisitely old-fashioned and thrilling Cold War thriller, impressive in its atmosphere, packed with action and boasting Lesley Manville, one of the leading actresses of British cinema, who sums up in her powerful performance all the fear, anxiety, and paranoia of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. L.K.
