1989

A play about the fall of communism in Poland showned from a different perspective. We will see this historic event through the eyes of the couples participating in it. In the lives of the Frasyniuks, Wałęsas and Kurońes, political ideas compete with love, enthusiasm collides with the weight of history, and heroism intertwines with family tragedies. Viewers will accompany the heroes in iconic moments - during the strikes in the shipyard and at the Round Table - as well as in intimate moments of joy and suffering experienced in the privacy of apartments in the Polish People's Republic or in prison cells.

Directed by Katarzyna Szyngiera, 1989 leans on a strong ensemble — Karolina Kazoń, Rafał Szumera, Katarzyna Zawiślak-Dolny — 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 music titles of 2024.
