Natalia is a 17-year-old mom living with her mother and son, Antos. She wanted to have a baby because it was a “cool” thing to do, and because she feels she has someone to love; someone who can love her in return. Everything changes when Natalia’s mother decides to move out, giving Natalia a chance to lead a “normal life.”
Acting
Berus makes Natalia's selfishness almost sympathetic—almost.
Direction
Rosłaniec refuses to judge, which makes it infinitely worse.
Writing
Dialogue so natural it feels like you shouldn't be hearing it.
Director
Kasia Rosłaniec
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Poland's 'cinema of moral anxiety' revival—social realist films about systemic failure dressed as personal choice.
Rosłaniec cast non-professional teens from Warsaw suburbs; several had friends who were actual young mothers, blurring documentary and fiction.
