Andrzej Michalski

A black-and-white adaptation of one of Bolesław Prus's most widely read short stories. The director faithfully portrays the protagonist against the backdrop of the struggle to reshape the image of the Polish countryside in the late 19th century. We follow the vicissitudes of a poor peasant child who allows himself to seize the opportunities of life.

Four thirty-something women who met in highschool continue to maintain a strong friendship despite the passing of time. Although very different, they also have much in common, each earnestly trying to find themselves and their place in the world.
