Płynące wieżowce

"Kuba" (Mateusz Banasiuk) is a young man living with his girlfriend "Sylwia" (Marta Nieradkiewicz) at his mum's house. Their existence is pretty claustrophobic, but for his swimming regimen, which introduces him to some of the extra-curricular activities in the toilets. Whilst out with her one night, he gets bored at an art gallery reception where he shares a joint with the handsome "Michal" (Bartosz Gelner). He quickly becomes infatuated with him, and gradually pushes his boundaries with the young man who is, also, dealing with issues at home. Will "Kuba" make a choice, or settle for something else, safer, more familiar? It is painfully slow at times, loads of lingering photography and "Kuba" being pensive, which grate after a while. The ending is truly horrific - from just about every imaginable perspective and rendered, I felt, the preceding 90-odd minutes almost pointless. What we could have assumed we knew about the main character, and any sympathy we might have felt goes straight under the bus. A real shame, this could have delivered something more poignant and enduring - but it didn't!
