Never Gonna Snow Again

One grey, foggy morning the mysterious Zhenia arrives in an Eastern European city and starts working as a masseur in a gated community. The identical houses are inhabited by rich upper-class residents, who despite their wealth are all struggling with sadness and a sense of an inner void. Zhenia offers comfort to the community with his healing hands. To them, his Russian accent sounds like the song of the past, a melody of their childhood when the world was a safer place. While providing peace and calm with his hypnotic techniques, his background remains a mystery though...

This new film by Malgorzata Szumowska and Michal Englert, who also co-wrote the screenplay, is a meditation on class, immigration, and global warming, with surreal sci-fi elements reminiscent of David Lynch's work. Never Gonna Snow Again was Poland's entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
