Fugue

In this gripping Polish drama, Alicja returns to her former life against her will, forced to take on the roles of wife, mother, and daughter she once abandoned. Two years of building a free-spirited existence are thrown out of balance as she navigates the complexities of motherhood and identity. With a talent for self-sustaining storytelling, director Agnieszka Smoczyńska shines with a quiet intensity that commands attention without resorting to flashy sequins or originality at any cost.
