The Reverse

Year 1952. In the center of the capital, the Palace of Culture and Science foundations are being raised. Sabina’s just turned thirty and the mother tries to find her a husband. One after another, the grandmother assesses candidates, but the girl’s not interested in any of them. One day, in dramatic circumstances, she meets Bronisław – a young man with a face of a film star. Though vulgar, he attracts Sabina. His presence starts a series of surprising events that will change the life of the three ladies.
