Cosmos (2015)
Directed by Andrzej Zulawski

Drama

Film Synopsis

By chance, two young men meet up and decide to spend a few days together by the sea.  One is Witold, who has just failed his law exams; the other is Fuchs, who has recently lost his job in the fashion world.  Not having much money to spend, they agree to share a room in a cheap boarding house run by the eccentric Madame Woytis and her equally peculiar friend Léon.  They have not been staying here long before Witold falls madly in love with his host's daughter Léna.  How unfortunate that she should have only just got married, and to the most suitable of husbands, an architect.  During their stay, Witold and Fuchs notice some bizarre signs that hint at impending danger.  What can these mean and who is trying to warn them off...?
