|
Ewa returns to her village after a hospital stay. She works on a plantation that grows wild roses. While Ewa was away her mother has been taking care of her children Marysia and Jas. Ewa's husband Andrzej also returns home after working for months in Norway. The time apart has created distance between them. During Marysia's first communion, Ewa starts to feel ill. Her friend Basia drives her home. Basia admits that she leaked the gossip to Andrzej about Ewa's affair with Marcel, a local high school boy. Ewa meets Marcel on the rose plantation. She says that their relationship is over. After Marcel leaves, Marta realizes that Jas, her 2-year-old son, has disappeared. The search begins. After hours a policeman appears and says that Jas has been found. Marta and Andrzej go to the next village and pick up Jas. Ewa returns to the hospital she left a few days before. We discover that Ewa had given birth to a child and put it up for adoption. Ewa wants her child back. Written by ANT!PODE Sales & Distribution [ru]
28th STOCKHOLM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. DAY 2, NOV 9th 2017. International premiere at the festival on Nov 8th.
A beautiful, tragic, slow-burning, gripping, well-acted, well-written, well-directed drama about guilt, hereditary sin and relational struggles.
The sixth feature film by Polish writer-director Anna Jadowska, "Wild Roses" (2017) features a very strong performance by actress Marta Nieradkiewicz. The themes of adultery, out-of-marriage pregnancy and relationships under pressure are impressively handled.
