THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN






short movie, 03:58’ (2022)


The story of a young woman,
who assimilates her psychic shadow
through the confrontation with
the emotional trauma from the past.

While experiencing the spectrum
of her innocent youthfulness,
she reflects on chosen ex-lover
and learns the consequences
of her unconscious decision-making.





Throughout the story, we observe
different representations of female
archetypes and their subordination
to a specific spectrum of events.
Their helpful, transformative
characteristics are offered naturally
to the main character. The presence
of animals serves as the personification
of strong human desires - often driving
their subconscious action (horse -
- sexual drive; fish - dreaminess).
