The Wind. A Documentary Thriller

DOCUMENTARY, 75 MIN (2019)

When the halny wind arrives in the Podhale region, it wreaks havoc, devestating roofs and trees. Rapid changes in air pressure affect people and animals, activating the local fire brigades and emergency medical services. The creators of the documentary, fascinated by this mysterious phenomenon, watch the destructive gale disrupt the lives of several highlanders. Immersed in the electric atmosphere of Podhale, this thriller is as unpredictable as the halny wind itself.
