DK Welchman, Hugh Welchman • Poland, Serbia, Lithuana • 2023 • 114 min
The Peasants, directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman. Set in 19th-century Poland, the film tells the story of Jagna, a 19-year-old woman forced to marry old Boryna, while her true love is his son, Antek. Her defiance of society’s norms triggers a series of dramatic events that threaten to disrupt the peace of the village. With its stunning oil-painted imagery and emotional intensity, the film offers a powerful and unforgettable cinematic experience.
