Sweat

Directed by Magnus von Horn

Sweat recounts three days in the life of fitness motivator Sylwia Zając, whose presence on social media has made her a celebrity. Although she has hundreds of thousands of followers, is surrounded by loyal employees and admired by acquaintances, she is looking for a true connection.

Pumping music and bursting energy are the outer layers of this captivating human drama about fame, loneliness and the search for intimacy. Kolesnik is terrific in the central role and the film also considers the ongoing struggle for women’s rights in Poland.
