THE REVERSE

DIRECTOR: Borys Lankosz - POLAND

Lankosz’s darkly comic film tells the story of three generations of women living together at the peak of Stalinist terror in 1950s Poland. In the middle of the capital, the foundations of the Palace of Culture are being raised. Sabina has just turned 30 and her mother is trying to find her a husband. Her grandmother has rated the candidates, yet Sabina isn’t interested in any of them. One day, under dramatic circumstances, she meets Bronislaw, a young man with the looks of a peasant movie star. Though Bronislaw is vulgar, Sabina can’t help but fall for him, and thus sets in motion a series of surprising events that will change the lives of all three women and reveal the darker side of their natures.
