SETTLING THE SCORE

POLISH TITLE: PORACHUNKI

REPRESENTED BY KFF

The film tells a story of elderly woman Halina (Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieslak), who makes a difficult decision and stands up for justice and her own dignity. Settling the score is an attempt to address the problem of marginalization of elderly people’s needs and their quality of life. In its form, the film is consistent and well thought through. It allows the viewer to freely interpret the plot and bitterness of its humorous finale.
