About this Event
PERMIT (CAPO) - Adrián works far from home, mediating between the company that employs him and the workers who trust him. He believes he can balance both worlds — until a workplace accident uncovers the quiet brutality beneath the surface. Forced to choose between security and solidarity, Adrián must decide where his loyalty truly lies.
This tale of workplace exploitation is inspired by true accounts and is shot with Ken Loach-style grit and humanism. Adrian (Daniel Vasquez) is a Colombian who has been living in Poland for some years and has become complicit in a work scam that brings other Latin Americans to the country on false promises. Instead of the jobs they believed they were walking into, they’re exploited at a meat processing plant. Adrian finds himself facing harsh truths and moral choices after an incident at work. A drama with a documentary sensibility that has universal resonance. (1 hr 23m, 2025, Poland, Director: Robert Kwilman)

Short to precede:
MENTIRA (LIE) - "Lie" is a song born from the need to express a reality overwhelmed by barbarity, sustained by false narratives that confuse, paralyze, and blind, with abysses of fog and serpentine clouds that leave eyes closed. Blues created collaboratively by Marcos Tabera, Nico Mavrich, and Oscar García. (4m, 2025, Director: Marcos Tabera)
