Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed in actual Bieszczady National Park during real winter conditions; temperatures dropped to -20°C, forcing cast to method-act their misery.
The title references Poland's 'Highlanders' (Górale) mythology of masculine self-reliance—Kasperski systematically dismantles this romanticized ideal through three generations of failed fathers.
