    Production: PL 2015

    It's white and windy all around. A gigantic figure emerges from behind the snow curtain and hits the road. It passes towns, villages, houses, to land on top of a hill, next to spiders, saints and bumper cars. “Figure” is a surreal tale about creating myths, about religious kitsch, and about the desire for greatness.
