As mentioned, “Cold War” debuted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it quickly became a standout project. The film follows the love story between a man and a woman who meet in post-war Poland. As the title suggests, the film is set in the Cold War in 1950s Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia, and Paris. As politics and fate attempt to separate the couple, their love story forever links them.

The film stars Joanna Kulig and Tomasz Kot as the aforementioned woman and man. Pawlikowski directs the film, coming off his Academy Award-winning work on “Ida.” Certainly, his latest seems to be a film that will put the filmmaker back on the short-list of awards contenders this year.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Cold War is a passionate love story between a man and a woman who meet in the ruins of post-war Poland. With vastly different backgrounds and temperaments, they are fatefully mismatched and yet condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in 1950s Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris, it’s the tale of a couple separated by politics, character flaws and unfortunate twists of fate — an impossible love story in impossible times.
