Botoks

The stories of four women – paramedic Daniela (Olga Bołądź) and doctors Beata (Agnieszka Dygant), Magda (Kasia Warnke) and Patricja (Marieta Żukowska) – play out against the backdrop of a hospital, which, through the lens of Patryk Vega, Poland’s most commercially successful director, reveals itself to be a deathtrap crowded with walking personifications of morbid cynicism and absurdity. This female foursome is complemented by scheming male protagonists who also lack all inhibitions, moral or otherwise. (Art Film Fest)
