Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 56 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
It’s Christmas Eve, and Ewa has plotted to pass the hours until morning with her former lover Janusz, a family man, by making him believe her husband has gone missing. During this night of recklessness and lies, the pair grapple with choices made when their affair was discovered three years ago, and with the value of their present lives.
