EVERYONE KNOWS WHO IS BEHIND WHOM

An impressionistic portrait of “queue Poland” in the early 1980s, capturing long lines of people waiting for scarce goods during the communist era. Through fragments of overheard, repetitive conversations recorded in a massive queue, the film transforms everyday speech into a surreal, almost absurd soundscape. Without traditional narration, it reveals how life under a system of shortage reduces social interaction to ritualized waiting, exposing both the monotony and underlying tensions of daily existence.
