DESCRIPTION

An iconic figure of Polish cinema in monologues, archival and contemporary recordings, and conversations with the screenwriter Remigiusz Grzela. The film refers to Lewis Carroll’s “Alice on the Other Side of the Mirror”. Krafftówna’s monologue also alludes to the actress’s most famous role in Jerzy Has’s “The Art of Loving” (1963) and at the same time attempts to find an answer to this universal question. Barbara Krafftówna travels to the land of imagination. The outstanding actress is fully aware that imagination is on the one hand a powerful tool in the professional workshop. On the other hand, from the perspective of a ninety-two-year-old, her world, “the vast world I lived in” is already on the other side of the mirror.
