Bedrock

Bedrock offers a striking psychological journey through contemporary Poland. Moving beyond a straightforward historical reconstruction, Kinga Michalska examines how Polish society today coexists with the remnants of the Holocaust, extermination camps, and mass graves. Through a series of intimate and contrasting encounters, the film reveals deeply paradoxical geographical and emotional realities, inviting viewers to reflect more profoundly on collective memory, intergenerational trauma, and the historical responsibility of witnesses and survivors. With its poetic cinematography and richly textured sound design, Bedrock stands as an essential work of remembrance with profound universal resonance.
