Provincial Actors

One of the first films by world renowned director and screenwriter Agnieszka Holland, recipient of many international film festival awards.

Extraordinary performance by Halina Łabonarska as Anna, awarded at the 1979 Polish Film Festival in Gdańsk.

The news of the arrival of a director form Warsaw interrupts the boring life of a theatre.
An opportunity of a lifetime for the most talented actor appears to be a typical, routine step towards a real career for the director. The actor attempts to rebel against the visiting director but doesn’t stand a chance. The actor takes out his professional dilemmas and irritation
at home.

A psychological drama set in the provincial theater actor’s environment, preparing to stage „Liberation” by Stanisław Wyspiański. Theater in theater and theater in cinema - a surprisingly fresh take on these two models.
