Poland / 2024 / 8 min

Dear Leo Sokolosky is an animated documentary following a young girl’s journey to Ansbach, the town where her great-grandfather was sent to a work camp during World War II. Through poetic narration, she writes a letter that intertwines past and present, memory and oblivion. Leo Sokolosky, a ghostly figure from her great-grandfather’s past, becomes a bridge between worlds, guiding her through reflections on history, ideals, and the longing for those no longer here.
