The Mole
Directed by Rafael Lewandowski
Produced by Donten & Lacroix Films, Metro Films
A morally complex family drama that excavates the hidden past of a Solidarity hero accused of betrayal, forcing a son to confront uncomfortable truths about his father and history.
Pawel, a Polish man in his early 30s, makes a living with his father Zygmunt importing second-hand clothing from the North of France to Southern Poland. On his way back from one of regular "business trips", Pawel is shocked to discover his father's picture on the cover of a Polish tabloid newspaper. The headline "traitor" is written next to his name. Zygmunt is a genuine hero of the struggle against totalitarianism and a recognized member of the "Solidarnosc" labor movement of the 80s. But now, Zygmunt is suddenly accused by the paper of having acted as a secret informer called THE MOLE by the communist regime.
