An Evening with Polish Cinema – Two Sisters
October 14 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
PACIM is proud to present an exclusive screening of Dwie Siostry (Two Sisters), the newest film from acclaimed Polish director Łukasz Karwowski. This moving drama follows two sisters who, after years of separation, are drawn back together to face long-hidden family secrets. Blending personal conflict with universal themes of memory, reconciliation, and identity, the film offers a gripping glimpse into the depth and artistry of contemporary Polish cinema.
Two half-sisters, who have been in conflict for years, set off to Ukraine to pick up their seriously injured father. They travel by car, then by train, in the end – on foot. The world of war, bombarded houses and burnt down tanks is gradually revealed in front of their very eyes. Near Kharkiv they cross the frontline unawares and enter Russian-occupied territory. Will they manage to find their father? Is there a place for forgiveness and love in a world of war? What will this journey bring about?—Gdynia Film Festival
The screening will be followed by an open discussion, providing an opportunity to share impressions and reflect on the film’s themes together. The movie will be presented with English subtitles.
Admission $10, sold at the time of the show.
The event is co-funded by the Polonia funds of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago.
