VIKA!
VIKA!
Trailer
Vika is celebrated as an icon by her teenage clients, she is right in the middle of life and has therefore arrived not only in senior housing complexes, but also in Poland's subculture, which fights for more self-determination and less tradition – in old age and elsewhere. But what does it look like behind it? Vika's son accuses her of driving across half of Poland with 30 kilograms of records, but not around the corner to watch his game in the national team. Between career and coldness – Vika is also aware of this contradiction, but making music is just too much fun.

Agnieszka Zwiefka - *1978 in Poland - Agnieszka Zwiefka is known to the audience thanks to her films: SCARS (2020) about women fighting the ranks of the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and THE QUEEN OF SILENCE (2014) about a Roma deaf girl who escapes into the world of Bollywood fantasy. It was in THE QUEEN OF SILENCE that we saw a combination of a documentary and a musical for the first time. This original film language became the basis for creating the story about DJ Vika. Currently, Agnieszka is working on another documentary, RUNA, about a young girl-refugee, and on her fiction debut. She lives in Wrocław with her husband, two daughters and dogs. He lectures at the University of Wrocław. Makes great kimchi and ramen. She collects old kimonos and, like Vika, believes that it is never too late to liveto the fullest.
