The Maids of Wilko

Having lost his friend, almost forty-year-old Wiktor Ruben visits his aunt and uncle in the countryside, where he spent his youth in a manor house with a group of girls. A lot has changed since then. Julia gave birth to twin girls. Emancipated Jola got mar-ried. Fela died prematurely. Zosia and Kazia are not the same any more either. Little Tunia grew up into a beautiful young lady. Ruben’s visit, his memories and attempts to bring back the past disturb the ladies of the house, expose their complicated life paths, tragedies and failures. An excellent adaptation of a short story by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz.
