Cold War is a love story for the ages.
Viktor fosters Poland’s next generation of talent, and Zula is leading lady material. The two quickly fall for each other, and a fiery romance burns as bright as Zula’s star. When the government turns their school into a propaganda machine, more than music is compromised.
Set aside the extraordinary context. This relationship is beautiful precisely because it is everyday: It is passion and excitement, reality checks and disappointment. This realism, together with traditional music and pregnant imagery, leaves deep impressions again and again.
