Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Tailor-made for anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 55 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A father and daughter, Michał and Anka, have a unique intimacy, which the college-aged Anka is beginning to feel conflicted about. When she finds an unopened letter from her deceased mother, it seems to justify her attraction to Michał, who may not in fact be her father.
