Them

The film tells the story about three generations of women living together in poverty. Every one of them represents a different attitude to life. Agata, the daughter, is trying to fulfill her dream of being an artist, although it is not easy for her to believe in herself.
2013 | Feature film directed by Marta Grabicka

Her mother, who has no job, always sponges on other people and doesn’t want to change, could never understand Agata’s ambition. The frustrated young girl is supported by her grandmother, who believes in her even when she is down on her luck. When the grandmother dies, Agata decides to fight for herself.
