The Crossroads

Eighty-year-old Tadeusz lives a quiet life as a pensioner with his wife Helena. After years of working in a hospital, he wants to enjoy old age and his charming house with a garden, where they soon plan to hold their beloved granddaughter’s wedding. The idyll is shattered by a tragic car accident that casts a shadow over his marriage and reveals cracks in his relationship with his son.

Directed by Dominika Montean-Pańków, The Crossroads leans on a strong ensemble — Jan Englert, Anna Romantowska, Michał Czernecki — 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 drama titles of 2025.
