About Death of the Kidmaker
Januszek – the town's Casanova, returns from the army. Waiting for him at home is Blada, the mother of his future child, the daughter of the head of the local security service, who arranged for the candidate to be a son-in-law to shorten his military service. Januszek, who has had many women's hearts broken on his conscience, is not eager to get married.
Directed by Wojciech Nowak, Death of the Kidmaker leans on a strong ensemble — Marek Kasprzyk, Anna Majcher, Beata Tyszkiewicz — 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 1991.
