SeriesDrama
God's Lining presents the dramatic fate of Marianna Jurewiczówna, her family, and the inhabitants of the Vilnius region from 1900 to 1945. The series begins in 1900, when Marianna, the youngest child of Maria and Andrzej Jurewicz, is born. Through Maryśka's eyes, we meet a succession of characters passing through the manor: the order-takers (Bartłomiej), the slackers (e.g., Mickiewicz), the peasant farmhands (e.g., Antośka), the servants (e.g., Walunia), and various misfits, rejected and ridiculed (e.g., the foolish Maryla), just like the main character. Marianna Jurewiczówna is called "niedonosek" by her family because of her premature birth; she feels unloved and rejected, misunderstood, and different. The series concludes in 1945, during the so-called first repatriation.
