TRUST  ME

dir. Joanna Ratajczak
feature documentary, 89 min.
Germany/Poland 
2024

“There is hardly any other activity that begins with such immense hopes and fails with such regularity as love”, Erich Fromm wrote. Sebastian and Alicja are a happy couple except for one thing: Sebastian’s desire for freedom. He wants to open up the relationship. Who could object to that? TRUST ME is a story of passion and self-indulgence, love, abandonment and self-discovery.*
