Hotshot
Synopsis
After a drug-related accident, a rising pop star in Poland finds herself in a women’s prison where she is assigned the arduous task of running the prison choir — although none of the inmates can sing. Simultaneously bleak, moving, and eccentric, Parzymies’ short film offers an amusing window onto the little-known world of prison life.
