Fuga
Fugue
Alicja hat ihr Gedächtnis verloren, und keinerlei Erinnerung daran, wie es passiert ist. Trotzdem ist es ihr gelungen, innerhalb von zwei Jahren ein neues unabhängiges Dasein aufzubauen, und sie hat nicht länger das Bedürfnis, sich an ihre Vergangenheit zu erinnern. Als ihre Familie sie aber wiederfindet, soll sie wieder in ihre alten Rollen hineinpassen, die der Mutter, der Tochter, der Ehefrau, obwohl ihr diese Menschen völlig fremd sind. Auch ihr Sohn und ihr Ehemann erkennen sie nicht wieder. Was bleibt, wenn du vergisst, dass du jemanden einmal geliebt hast? Ist es notwendig, sich an das Gefühl der Liebe zu erinnern, um Glück zu empfinden?
Alicja (Gabriela Muskała) is diagnosed with dissociative fugue, a condition that has made her forget her identity. When her family finds her, she learns that she has a husband and a five-year-old son. Initially, she wants to abandon them as soon as possible, but she becomes intrigued by the life she left behind. Fugue plays out a bit like a horror flick, but the subtle influences are combined into a coherent whole. Smoczyńska and Muskała, who also wrote the script, have moulded an intriguing character, a metaphor for many women in modern-day Poland, who are trying to free themselves from their traditional social roles. (Ola Salwa, Cineuropa)
