Tomasz Kot and Joanna Kulig in Cold War | dir: Paweł Pawlikowski

Cold War is a passionate love story between two people of different backgrounds and temperaments, who are fatally mismatched and yet fatefully condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in the 1950′s in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris – the film depicts an impossible love story in impossible times.

The main characters are based very loosely on Pawlikowski’s own parents
