Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am and people who love a good family story, this one's for you. The friendships are the beating heart of it. Shelve it next to Doctor Zhivago or Never Let Me Go. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 45 min.
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.

Thirty-year-old nurse Teresa spends her days caring for elderly, dying people. Janusz, a young man she met at an amusement park, enters the life of this bitter and disillusioned woman. Teresa doesn't have the courage to tell him how she feels, and he also has trouble expressing his emotions. They are helped by Julka, a girl from the neighborhood who likes Teresa. She finds a pile of love letters from the beginning of the century in the trash. By forging Teresa and Janusz's handwriting, she starts a love correspondence between them, rewriting fragments of other people's confessions.
