"Initiation" is a musical-film experiment directed by Iwona Pasinska, with mesmerizing music by Jacek Sienkiewicz and ascetic set design by Andrzej Grabowski, in which each prop is significant. The sophisticated visual form, imbued with a subtle play of artificial light and evening gloom, is intertwined with the broad physical expression of the artists-dancers of the Polish Dance Theater.

Each of the black-and-white frames that make up this short film is a separate, painterly composition that could exist as an independent painting or artistic photograph. They are arranged in an oneiric story, in which the viewer's perception is strongly influenced - in addition to the movement of the Dancers - by the movement of the camera, which cyclically returns to the same places. Peering into the depths of human habitats, toxic relationships and untamed fears, we see that the demons faced by the characters are often exemplifications of social problems you can read about on the front pages of newspapers. One of the characters learns about human traumas by reliving successive scenes from his life in the space of his imagination. What will end with his "initiation" - the title attempt to enter reality?
