Ederly is a place that exists outside of time, on the border between the real world and a dream. A man, S³ow (Mariusz Bonaszewski), appears one day in Ederly, claiming that he has come to work as a restorer in the local church. However, all the residents of Ederly recognise him as a man who disappeared some 20 years ago ... A surreal comedy with elements of a thriller or a philosophical treatise on life, Ederly spins a dream-like, original and grotesque story, combined with a realistic visual layer. Inspired by the masters of literature (Dostoyevsky and Kafka), the director offers a very distinctive style and aesthetics, with a liberal sprinkling of black humour and dream logic.

Ederly est un endroit qui existe en dehors du temps, à la frontière entre le monde réel et celui du rêve. Un homme y arrive et son identité se trouve d'emblée mise en doute. Comédie surréaliste avec des éléments de thriller et de réflexion philosophique sur la vie, Ederly raconte une histoire onirique originale et grotesque, associant des images très réalistes avec de subtils décalages et un humour noir, elle fait penser à une version revisitée du théâtre de l'absurde.
