DESCRIPTION
Found two years after she disappeared, Kinga (Grażyna Muskała) suffers from a dissociative fugue and had lost her memory. She is accidentally found during a TV show and returns to her family. Her life begins anew, but Kinga – Alicja has to find herself in a situation that has already been written down for her roles – wife, mother, daughter. She looks familiar but behaves as a stranger. The film, full of emotions, surprises, uncertainty and a personality that is difficult to re-create, poses basic questions: about identity, social roles, surroundings, family, an archetype of the Polish Mother. What defines us and what do we influence?
