Rose
Directed by Wojtek Smarzowski
Produced by Lightcraft, Studio Filmowe Tor
A bleak, intimate portrait of two traumatized survivors finding fragile connection amid the sexual violence and chaos of post-war Poland.
This harrowing tale of survival centers on Rose, a Masurian woman, whose German soldier husband was killed in the war, leaving her alone on their farm. A single woman had no defense against Russian soldiers who raped as a form of revenge, nor against plundering Poles who found themselves in desperate straits. Help arrives for Rose in the form of Tadeusz, a former officer in the Polish Home Army who deserted after he saw his wife raped and murdered by Russian troops and is attempting to hide his identity.
