Never Gonna Snow Again (2021)
Directed by Małgorzata Szumowska
Zenia is an industrious Ukrainian migrant worker in Poland who makes house calls as a masseur to the needy and aspirational residents of a middle-class gated community near Warsaw. He is privy to all of their problems, anxieties and secrets – and something of an unwitting guru figure. Zenia’s grounded spirituality, apparent healing powers and broad shoulders make him an object of lust for many of the lost souls in the community.

What critics compared Never Gonna Snow Again to
As we will learn, he hails from near Chernobyl, in Ukraine, and so, as everyone jokes, must be radioactive (and in yet another cinematic reference, demonstrates possible telekinetic abilities à la the child in Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 Stalker).
Also, the filmmakers use the theme song from Eyes Wide Shut in the beginning of the film which is quite fitting.
Shostakovich: the waltz that Stanley Kubrick used memorably in Eyes Wide Shut .
