FREESTYLE LIFE
POLISH TITLE: ŻYCIE STYLEM DOWOLNYM
REPRESENTED BY KFF
Freestyle life is a story of the art of putting up the fight, when the game involves the most competitive rivals – ourselves. Resistance to the determinism leads towards stubborn challenging oneselves to consecutive duels. The surface of the screen that precisely keeps the viewer from reality resembles the surface of water that separates swimmers from their disability.
