Woman of...

2024

A patient, intimate decades-long portrait that asks you to sit with quiet pain and hard-won self-recognition.

Directed by: Małgorzata Szumowska, Michał Englert
Genres: Drama, History
Starring: Małgorzata Hajewska-Krzysztofik, Joanna Kulig, Mateusz Więcławek

Overview: Aniela has lived the first half of her life as a man: with an office job, a wife, and two children. But neither her family's opposition nor repression by the government in Poland can stop her from finally becoming the person she's always been.
