Stranger

dir.

Małgorzata Szumowska

2004, 1 h 41 min

22-year-old Ewa leads a normal, boring life. She wasn’t accepted at a university, works on a gas station, lives with her parents and gets pregnant. When she learns that the child in her womb can hear, she starts telling it about the world. This conversation with a child gives her an opportunity to understand the world and her own life. A poetic story about life: love and hatred, joy and sadness, pain and forgiveness. And music.
