- Synopsis
- Alicja and Sebastian are in a happy marriage. Alicja is Polish and family means the world to her. Sebastian is German, 10 years older, divorced and a very
  successful man. Having spent 15 years together Sebastian surprises his wife with quite a radical idea which is... to open their relationship to other people. Alicja is in. The couple go on an adventure that could result in anything.
  I am with them all the way along. I stand by their side in their courageous, relentless and sometimes destructive journey to find new forms of love. In time it turns out that finding a way to an unconventional relationship is not an easy task.
  At the beginning my film tells a very intimate story about two people being together but after some time it begins to become a lonely battle of their own. It deals with trying to find yourself in a completely new situation and all the doubts, feelings and needs that accompany it.Initially TRUST ME seems to be a movie about unfaithfulness, an open relationship but quickly becomes a very deeppsychological study on the characters, their marriage and also today’s relationships between women and men in general. The spicy premise of an experiment as such often overshadows its painful way to achieve it.
  TRUST ME is an attempt to show flexibility of the whole process. In the film as if under a microscope we can see slow changes and we ask a universal question whether in the 21st century in times mainly focused on individuals, consumption, widely available goods and services maintaining a long-term relationship makes any sense at all.
