Bielawska & Ruszkiewicz: Warsaw Available

Ania, Gosia and Ilona go to the city from the countryside, where possibilities to get work are small or non-existing. They are sweet and natural and they react differently to the new world with many temptations. The film is shot over a long period and suffers a bit from the jumps in time that you hear about or understand but do not sense. Arranged scenes help to push the action so the overall impression is that this is an honest report from Poland today, and I guess it could take place in any bigger country. The first station is a boarding house, the next ones are either to return home as does Ania for her boyfriend Andrzej and Ilona for her small child.

… and just want to praise again the producer and director Krzysztof Kopczyński from Eureka Media for his work – you can find other of his films mentioned and reviewed on this site: Stone Silence and Kites.
