Asiunia

The story of a little girl for whom the war began just after her fifth birthday, when one night her mother and the whole house disappeared. You had to go to sleep in someone else's house, where instead of your mother there was a foreign lady, foreign furniture, and you had to drink milk from someone else's cup instead of the usual one

Directed by Tomek Ducki, Asiunia leans on a strong ensemble — Matylda Łoniewska, Anna Apostolakis, Lidia Sadowa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2023.
