Anna Jadowska
Poland, 2017, 93 Min

An absorbing psychological portrait of a young woman from the Polish provinces: as a mother Ewa appears to be well out of her depth, whilst as a wife she long feels alienated from her husband. Then there’s her affair with a local sixteen-year-old, the source of village gossip that causes her great embarrassment.

Ewa is only 27 and yet she’s already deeply scared by life. After a stay in a clinic she returns home to her two children, only to be cursed by her six-year-old daughter. Her husband recently spent six months on a business assignment in Norway, now the two live almost separate existences. As if the above weren’t enough she is the object of local minor Marcel’s passionate advances, and she struggles to keep a clear head amongst the emotional chaos. And then her two-year-old son disappears …

The director skillfully interweaves numerous threads into a single plot shaped by insinuations, village intrigue, small-mindedness and conservative morality. In staging erotic tension she masterfully generates alluring, sparkling scenes full of sensuality, at the same time granting her protagonist a transformation that culminates in an unexpected, powerful finale.
