The Happiness of the World

The Happiness of the World

dir.

 Michał Rosa

2016, 1 h 38 min

An exceptional tenement house in Silesia just next to the Polish-German border and its inhabitants: the beautiful Jewess Róża and three men infatuated with her – a Pole, a Silesian and a German. There are also two supporting characters: a journalist from Warsaw, bon vivant Sobański, Róża’s object of admiration, and Jan, a family friend. We meet the characters in the summer of 1939. The first part of the film ends with a dramatic war night.

We meet them again in the fifties, when the surviving residents try to find themselves in the new reality.
