Hot Spot

“The system is unstable.”

A series of violent deaths emerges from the shadows of an unnamed city, each one leaving Jan 623 (Andrzej Konopka) searching for a pattern he cannot see. Rana (Noomi Rapace) and Ayka (Reika Kirishima) move through this world of crime and strange collisions, their paths crossing his in ways that feel inevitable. Smoczyńska builds the film like a fever dream, where neon bleeds into darkness and the logic of the crime dissolves.
