DESCRIPTION
Heavily speckled wedding in a wealthy family in a small town in northeastern Poland. The bride is pregnant, thinking about emigrating – on the contrary, her husband has a pack of like-minded friends and is thinking about working in his father-in-law’s company. In each of his films, Smarzowski shows what was hidden for too long. This time it is about a difficult thread in Polish history, about Polish-Jewish relations, which were both beautiful and shameful. Anti-Semitic and nationalist issues are still alive and unexplored in Poland. The title is WESEלE (the Hebrew letter ל – lamed appears instead of L).

DIRECTOR
— WOJCIECH SMARZOWSKI (1963), Polish film and theatre director, screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker. He studied film science at Jagiellonian University and graduated from the Cinematography Department of PWSFTviT in Łódź. Initially, he was involved in music videos. The strength of Smarzowski's cinema is, on the one hand, an insightful look, and on the other, the exploration of a decaying universe. Since his full-length debut "The Wedding" (2004), each of Smarzowski's films has been widely discussed, bringing him recognition from audiences as well as distinctions and awards at Polish and foreign festivals.FILMOGRAPHY
