Drama

Directed by Filip Zylber

On their wedding day in occupied Poland, poet Tadeusz brings Sarah, the Jewish woman he rescued from a Gestapo officer, to the celebration, only for her captor Cieślik to crash the party and force her into an impossible choice: become his lover or betray her to the Nazis. Filip Zylber’s debut uses Tomasz Stańko’s music and expanded characterizations to breathe new poetic life into Borowski’s terse wartime tale.
