Tell Me What You Feel
What Tell Me What You Feel is about
This isn't your typical romance. According to the film's press materials, Tell Me What You Feel centers on Patryk and Maria, two young artists whose relationship becomes a space—sometimes tender, sometimes volatile—where they're forced to reckon with the emotional patterns they inherited from childhood. The premise hinges on something most people don't talk about: how we love is often how we were loved, and breaking that cycle takes more than intention. It takes work. Games. Art. Vulnerability. The film seems interested in what happens when two people try to build something healthy while the world—class pressures, market forces, their own insecurities—keeps pushing back.
What we know so far
The film was directed by Łukasz Ronduda and written by Ronduda alongside Agata K. Koschmieder, with production from Koskino and partners including EC1 Łódź, Silesia Film, and the Documentary and Feature Film Studio (WFDiF). It's a Polish-language production running 94 minutes. The leads are Jan Sałasiński as Patryk and Izabella Dudziak as Maria, with supporting roles from Anita Poddębniak, Adam Szyszkowski, Andrzej Konopka, Aleksandra Justa, and Sebastian Dela.
The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in late January 2026 in the Big Screen Competition section, then moved through the festival circuit—goEast and LICHTER Filmfest in Germany both screened it in April 2026. A Polish theatrical release is currently set for September 18, 2026, though other territories may get it via festivals first.
Why it's anticipated
Look—there's something refreshing about a romance that doesn't pretend emotional intimacy is simple. What's striking is that this film seems genuinely interested in the mechanics of how two people learn to communicate, not just whether they end up together. Ronduda's willingness to use games and art as actual narrative tools (rather than just aesthetic window dressing) suggests a director thinking about form and feeling at the same time. The fact that it's already circulating at major film festivals means it's already found an audience beyond the usual commercial machinery. That's worth paying attention to.
