Sweet Rush

Her life is coming to an end. His adulthood has just began. The fate will mock them cruelly. The main character is not only fictional Marta but also an actress who plays her. Krystyna Janda’s personal monologues are a record of emotions and events accompanying her husband’s death. It’s a multidimensional story about love that sometimes comes too late and death that always comes too early. The adaptation of two short stories: “Sweet Rush” by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and “Rendelés előtt” by Sandor Márai.
