Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bajon adapts Gabriela Zapolska's 1909 play 'The Morality of Mrs. Dulska,' infamous in Poland as a satire of bourgeois hypocrisy, here twisted into multi-generational reckoning.
The casting of Janda—Polish cinema's grande dame of morally compromised women—layers decades of audience recognition onto a single poisonous matriarch.
