It's really nice to be here, Mexico never ceases to amaze me." Regarding Cold War, he said he was happy to present it during the festival: "It is a handmade film, it is very good to be able to present it at these festivals, of which very few remain, and which are made with great care and attention to details. Morelia no doubt is at the forefront, it reflects the great love you feel for the cinema," he concluded. Cold War is a passionate love story between a man and a woman who find themselves in the ruins of post-war Poland. Although they have very different experiences and personalities, they are fatally condemned to be together. Politics, their temperaments and the unfortunate twists of fate separate this couple in an impossible love story located in Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia, and Paris, in the middle of the Cold War in the fifties.
