Lukasz Palkowski’s thrilling new film, Gorky Resort, follows a young Polish pianist, Karol, who is captured by Stalin along with other university professors, priests, doctors, poets and
musicians with plans to ideologically ‘convert’ these influential citizens to Communism, to create the nucleus of a new Russian intelligentsia. Karol must resist brainwashing in order
to fight for his freedom and for the soul of his country. This Irish-Polish co-production features powerhouse performances from Aidan Gillen and Jakub Gierszal.
