DESCRIPTION
War is a time of cruelty and lawlessness, it breaks social bonds and fractures people’s lives. Those who have survived struggle to put their reality back together. In the post-war Mazury region the paths of Róża, a widow of a German soldier who was left alone on a farm, and Tadeusz, a former Home Army officer who hides his identity after the Warsaw Uprising, intersect. Alone woman is defenseless against both the Soviet soldiers and Polish looters. Smarzowski’s film is painfully real. The acting duo of Agata Kulesza and Marcin Dorociński makes us suffer together with the characters, hoping for a change of fate.

DIRECTOR
Wojciech Smarzowski (1963) Polish film and theatre director, screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker. He studied film science at Jagiellonian University and graduated from the Cinematography Department of PWSFTviT in Łódź. Initially, he was involved in music videos. He represents a group of Polish filmmakers that emerged after 2000. The strength of Smarzowski's cinema is, on the one hand, an insightful look, and on the other, the exploration of a decaying universe. Since his full-length debut "The Wedding" (2004), each of Smarzowski's films has been widely discussed, bringing him recognition from audiences as well as distinctions and awards at Polish and foreign festivals.FILMOGRAPHY
