About the film

A post-punk psychological drama about a young woman craving for life among the dullness of the Polish People’s Republic. A story about a mother-daughter bond and hunger for freedom, about sex and meditation. The plot starts in Tricity in 1987 and finishes in 1989, after the first free election in Poland. All this against the backdrop of the rebellious Tricity music scene of the late ‘80s, the cultural and social phenomenon of that time and the sign of the revolutionary changes in Poland.
