Considered lost for many years, People with No Tomorrow was discovered in 2015 in Germany and digitally restored in 4K. Directed by Aleksander Hertz, one of the pioneers of Polish Cinema, the film narrates the forbidden love affair between a Russian soldier and a young actress from Warsaw, bringing together the most celebrated stars of the time. Forced into exile due to being a member of the Socialist Party, Hertz made this film after he returned to his homeland and started a flourishing cinema business. The film was a huge success, mostly because its story was based on true events that were widely covered in newspapers of the time. This posed a problem for the film, since the real-life personages of the affair kept on asking for modifications. Although the film was shot in 1919, it could not be screened until 1921 due to constant changes in the final edition.
Tickets are available at Biletix and on the day of the event, at the Akbank Sanat ticket counter.
