Aquatia

dir. Paweł Szarzyński

Take a deep breath and dive into the vast underwater depths of planet Aquatia, where you discover the visually stunning world of underwater civilization. Surround yourself with blooming mechanical life forms out of your wildest imagination, and use your whole body to freely swim, navigate, explore, and engage, all while being drawn into a political intrigue out–of–this–world. Aquatia is an adaptation of a novel written by Stanisław Lem: “The Advisors of King Hydrops,” it is a political drama set in an underwater kingdom, which is a reflection of modern democratic systems. Storytelling part of Aquatia debates the essence of morality in politics, the problems of corruption, and mocks the unmotivated greed for power.
