That Thursday
Poland | Short | 3 minutes | English
Director: Jacek Kadaj
A quiet film about a simple gesture — a hand reaching toward another. Through restrained black-and-white imagery, the story reflects on how love doesn’t arrive in grand moments, but in small, human acts. Sometimes it lasts a lifetime. Sometimes just once. And sometimes, just once, is enough to change everything.
