A love between east and west

Musician Wiktor is looking for young artists for an ensemble that performs Polish folklore. In doing so, he meets the free-spirited Zula. The two are immediately attracted to each other. But their love takes place in the Poland of the Cold War, a time full of political tension and borders. They are drawn to each other and push each other away again. An impossible love in an impossible time.

Based on a true story

Cold War is loosely based on the lives of director Pawel Pawlikowski's parents. He turned his family history into an intimate and visually strong black-and-white film. At the Cannes Film Festival, Pawlikowski won the award for Best Director. He previously made the Oscar-winning film Ida.
