αΩ (Alpha Omega)

2007, 40 Minute Running Time

This is no less than a film about everything: from A to Z or from alpha to omega. As the title suggests, the film tackles theological and philosophical questions against a backdrop of a story of two twins, passing themselves off as a lawyer and a prosecutor.* They start an insurance business, where a businessman (an ironic idealist) and a barmaid (a romantic daydreamer) are the first to insure themselves. What follows is a surrealistic, symbolic, and political tale that concludes that ‘the unknown is our only hope.’

* By way of background, the President of Poland (Lech Kaczyński) and the Prime Minister of Poland (Jarosław Kaczyński) are twin brothers and former lawyers.
