TRUST ME
Deutschland, Polen 2024 – Director: Joanna Ratajczak – Original version with English subtitles – Length: 88 min.
“There is hardly any other activity that begins with such immense hopes and fails with such regularity as love,” Erich Fromm wrote. Sebastian and Alicja are a happy couple except for one thing: Sebastian’s desire for freedom. He wants to open up the relationship. Who could object to that? TRUST ME is a story of passion and self-indulgence, love, abandonment and self-discovery. Ina Borrmann
