Cold War is a passionate love story between a man and a woman who meet in the ruins of post-war Poland. With different backgrounds and temperaments, they are fatally mismatched and yet fatefully condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in the 1950s in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris, the couple are separated by politics, character flaws and unfortunate twists of fate – an impossible love story in impossible times.

„There were these two characters that were floating for years with me. They were partly inspired by my parents who had a very tempestuous relationship involving different partners. So that’s been kind of around as the ultimate love story; a couple that can’t get it together, but they’re destined to be together. I hate biopics, you can’t tell a story of a life. Even with two people there’s a lot of mess in real life, no? And trying to impose a kind of cause and effect logic on it usually leads to very cheesy scenes and cheesy dialogue, and very reductive interpretations. So for a long time I was looking at how to do it, and I arrived at this elliptic way of doing it, but then I needed something like music to hold it all together. So the music became like the third character, the third element that kept it all together and helped to identify the changing relationship, times and places.“
