The Sandglass
DramaFantasyHorror124 min
Jozef arrives at a crumbling sanatorium to visit his father, then finds himself moving through a maze of rooms where memory, dream, and nightmare keep folding into one another. Jan Nowicki is Jozef, a young man navigating a place where time no longer behaves in ordinary ways and the past returns in fragments, images, and half-familiar encounters. Around him, faces like Tadeusz Kondrat’s and Halina Kowalska’s surface and recede as the sanatorium opens into shifting spaces shaped by family history, old streets, and private visions.
