Synopsis

Molly, a young Irish woman shows up in a small town in Poland. Dragging a red rolling suitcase, she wanders the muddy streets to find Marcin, the man she only spent one night with and who she loved for only a day...

"Sometimes you have to lose your way, to find a better way". Spoken by a good willed taxi driver who finds Molly in the middle of nowhere. She says she's searching for Marcin, but in reality it's herself she's trying to find.

Director Emily Atef tells a modern fable. Mairead McKinley gives a sensitive performance as Molly, the brave and tender Irish girl, who strays through the sordid. She confronts the voyage of misery which reveals how looking for what you want sometimes leads you to finding what you need.
