Swedish writer/director Magnus von Horn’s drama charts three days in the life of Sylwia (Magdalena Kolesnik), a young, Warsaw-based fitness motivator. She has 600,000 followers on Insta; one of her posts, in which she admits to feelings of loneliness, triggers the attentions of an IRL stalker. Von Horn crafts a compelling, ambiguous character study that digs beneath the surface of its protagonist’s digitally curated persona. Shot to heighten the sense of Sylwia’s entrapment, it’s anchored by Kolesnik’s outstanding performance.
