Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Poland's 'cinema of moral concern' legacy, but through a child's merciless perspective. Kędzierzawska remains criminally underseen outside festivals.

Insight

The title 'Wrony' literally means crows—birds that steal shiny things and are hated for surviving. Crow steals a child, the ultimate shiny thing she can't keep.
