Poland-Russia-Italy 2014
Duration: 117 minutes

Angelo and Kasia met in Italy in the Focolare Movement where their love and faith in God brought them together. Their relationship has been broken by the girl's return to Poland and her decision to enter a convent. Angelo arrives in Warsaw in order to persuade Kasia to change her mind. He takes up a job in an international corporation while waiting for her decision. The company is managed by a ruthless and cynical Kris supported by her assistant Mira. In this corporate reality Angelo, a believer, falls victim to the ridicule and harassment. Kris, using her position of power, plays with Angelo and wants to force him to break moral principles and yet at the same time she is fascinated by his faith. " Foreign Body" is a Polish-Russian-Italian co-production directed by Krzysztof Zanussi. The author of "Camouflage" returns to the essence of his auteur cinema. He raises questions about the most important matters and provokes to debate. He brings up the most current issue of the place of God in a public space. Krzysztof Zanussi carefully observes the division of Poland into Catholic and laic one, placing the protagonist to two very different worldviews. He confronts two systems of values identified by two female characters Kate and Kris.
