The Tough (14mins - directed by Marcin Polar).
The Tough is a recently discovered cave network in the Tatra Mountains. The film's protagonist chose the name well. In this claustrophobic, visually powerful and experimental film our imagination is stirred as we follow him into the ground and into spaces never seen before.
