Woman of...
As Poland undergoes a transformation between the eras of communism and capitalism, the protagonist of this film experiences her own transition: she realises that her male body and identity - as her family and friends know her - does not reflect her true self. Set against the landscape of the Polish transformation from communism to capitalism, WOMAN OF… spans 45 years of the life of Aniela Wesoły, who lives more than half of her adult life in a provincial Polish town as a man. Aniela's journey to find personal liberty as a trans woman reveals hardships in marriage and parenthood, strained family relations and complicated attitudes in her environment, which constantly place her in impossible situations. What choices will Aniela have to make? Will she be ready to sacrifice all to become who she truly is?
