Paradoxically, it is also a time when, despite the declared joy and mutual kindness, a spark is enough to break out an old family conflict. The heroes of the film are victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. Sometimes they stand on both sides of the same barricade. On the eve of Christmas, Malgorzata has to run away from home, Krystyna hopes that this time her husband will not be at home, because only then can she count on peace. Maciej, who is a perpetrator of domestic violence, feels like a victim himself. Carols that fill the film's soundtrack, instead of softening its pronunciation and giving hope, become a painful and ironic counterpoint. Written by [TVP] See less
