True love can never be corrupted. It can be tested, but when it is, it only gets stronger. Pawel Pawlikowski's new film, Cold War, is about that kind of love -- pure, indestructible, eternal.

It's an epic love story, which starts in 1949 and lasts for the best part of 20 years, a time of extreme change in European history, yet the biggest obstacles faced by the couple at the centre of the story are themselves and their own decisions.

Set over a period of fifteen years, Cold War tells the tale of a complicated love story between Wiktor (Tomasz Kot), a musical composer and organiser of a traditional Polish folk troupe, and Zula (Joanna Kulig), a younger, charismatic woman who auditions for him. Spanning from their first meeting in 1949 to the climax of their romance in the mid 1960s, the film takes its audience on a whirlwind tour of communist era Europe, displaying both the strictly guarded East and the freer, bohemian West, sizzling with the tension that the balance between the two worlds evoked during this time.
