In “This Is Not Happening” Polish film, the absurd becomes ordinary and the ordinary becomes absurd.
Through a series of intertwining stories, the film portrays modern life in Poland — full of contradictions, misinformation, and surreal coincidences. Each character faces a bizarre situation that challenges their sense of logic, identity, and morality.
Director Maciej Stuhr turns contemporary anxieties into biting humour, blending social commentary with emotional depth. The result is a brilliantly performed, fast-paced comedy where laughter coexists with unease — and where viewers are left wondering if the madness is on screen, or outside the cinema walls.
Funny, fearless, and thought-provoking, To się nie dzieje captures the feeling of living in a time when everything seems unbelievable — yet everything is true.
