Ewa

2011

A grim, slow-burning slice of life that weighs economic desperation and moral compromise with unflinching realism.

Overview: Giza and her husband Erwin struggle to make ends meet in their Silesian mining-town home after Erwin loses his job and faces humiliating demands at the employment office. When Giza befriends the well-off Monika, she’s offered work at a nightclub - first cleaning, then a shocking ultimatum: turn to prostitution or leave.
How it feels: Bleak, melancholic, tense and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Class, survival, power, morality
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
