Treasure (Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz / Mary Komasa)
Original score from the 2024 drama comedy feature film directed by Julia von Heinz, starring Lena Dunham, Stephen Fry and André Hennicke, released by Bleecker Street Media (USA).
THE STORY: An american journalist Ruth who travels to Poland with her father Edek to visit his childhood places. But Edek, a Holocaust survivor, resists reliving his trauma and sabotages the trip creating unintentionally funny situations.
THE SCORE: “Treasure is a musical exercise in combining the opposites: the unimaginable burden of the past casts a long, dark shadow over this awkward father-daughter trip, but life and love prevail in the end. We created a musical landscape from contradicting elements. There is a gentle echo of a melody in this composition, but it often remains hidden deep under the surface, barely recognizable between the darker, more sinister layers. The two main protagonists of the film, while struggling to cope with their trauma, never lose each other from their sight. It was our role to bring their fragile emotional bond to light. “ – Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz & Mary Komasa
