The story begins a couple of hours before the year 2000. The whole planet froze in anticipation: whether the apocalypse will happen, whether computers will go crazy, whether a global catastrophe will occur or stooped homuncles will land from the sky to enslave the Earth. Young asshole Sebastian sneaks into the TV studio and takes a popular host hostage, demanding to let him live with an important message to the people. . .
Polish chamber thriller with excellent acting, filled with anxiety and doubts towards the main character is a treacherous invader, or a person whose soul is boiling.
The seizure of the TV studio is a kind of message not to the government or even to riot, but to young people on the threshold of the new millennium, millennials without goals and plans for the future (this is perfectly illustrated by the documentary passage in the middle of the film). This is a cry for help as a result of a strong experience of an emotional situation, or echoes of psychological trauma from childhood, or maybe unrequited love (there is a hint of gayness). By the way, everything in the tape will not be revealed, as well as the true motives of the villain, we can only guess about them, scrupulously noting the details and listening to the dialogue.
Moral: if you decide on New Year's Eve to arrange a seizure, then I advise you to take a wine cellar hostage and mercilessly destroy it under cheese cutting.
As a result, the actors were successfully selected in the thriller, the tension was perfectly sustained and even the actual message to the masses, however, is very blurred - after all, we never learned exactly what Sebastian wanted to convey to us.
