Polska, 1994

Structured around the poetry of Milosz and nocturnes of Chopin, "Polska, 1994" follows seventeen-year-old Magda's quest through her past. In a provincial town that feels desperately too small, this coming-of-age story revisits oppression and loss behind the grim Iron Curtain, and the many secrets surrouding Magda's family. Why did men from the Polish secret police interrupt her brother's birthday thirteen years ago? Is truth always desirable?
