A Short Film About Love - Characters & Cast

To connect with Magda, not necessarily sexually, but to be near her and witness her life.

Starts as a shy, invisible voyeur content with watching. He bravely steps out of the shadows to declare his love, has his innocence brutally crushed, and retreats into silence, only to unknowingly transform Magda through his absence.

Initially to find sexual satisfaction and avoid emotional pain; later, to find redemption and reconnect with Tomek.

Begins as a hardened, sexually liberated woman who believes love is a myth. Through her cruelty to Tomek and his subsequent suffering, she is awakened to the possibility of genuine emotion and eventually craves the innocent love she destroyed.

To protect Tomek, whom she treats like a surrogate son.

A silent observer in her own right, she protects Tomek. She serves as a gatekeeper in the final act, preventing Magda from easily accessing Tomek, enforcing the consequences of Magda's cruelty.
