True story of Papusza - the first Roma woman who put her poems into writing and published them, and therefore confronted the traditional female image in the gypsy community. The film follows Papusza's life from birth to old age: arranged marriage as a small girl, her life in a gypsy tabor before, during and after second world war, then forced settlement in communist Poland and urban life in poverty. Her meeting with the Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski led to a tragic paradox: a famous poet was living in poverty, rejected by the Roma community for betraying their secrets.
Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze are Poland's leading film auteurs. Their first collaboration was Dug (Debt). The film was recently chosen as the most important Polish production of the past twenty years. Altogether, their films have received more than 120 awards in Poland and around the world. Their films include „Mój Nikifor" (My Nikifor), a story about a forgotten painter (Award for Best Director in Karlovy Vary) and „Plac Zbawi-
ciela" (Saviour Square), a drama about a toxic family.
