    WARSAW: Writer/director Michał Otłowski competes at the Gdynia Film Festival with Waterline, a mysterious police drama

    Iza, a policewoman, is investigating the murder of a young woman. Suddenly, two men on a task force disappear. One of them is Iza's husband and the father of her unborn twins. The film is a fusion of a modern crime drama and the noir genre. The picture is the Polish feature debut for Otłowski, an accomplished documentary filmmaker who also shot his first feature Ein Kleid aus Warschau in 2006 in Germany.
