Koniec świata (2015): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2015, Koniec świata is a drama and documental film directed by Monika Pawluczuk, running about 40 minutes.

What it’s about. The Mayan doomsday prophecy looms over a dark night in Poland. A late-night radio host takes in calls from citizens expressing their concerns, predictions and speculations on what may happen when—or even if—the sun comes up. Simultaneously, a crisis centre dispatcher fields panicked calls from people experiencing real-life traumatic situations in need of immediate attention. The voices of these callers are interwoven with an intimate therapy session and a wandering taxicab to build a profile of a place where citizens want to be heard. Never showing the callers on the other end of the line, the film creates an aural overview of a darkened city. As the night progresses, the calls continue coming in, revealing the various struggles people are experiencing in dealing with conceptual fears and current woes—all in a world that soon may be over.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.8/10, Koniec świata has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
