movie

A film, creative portrait of an outstanding theater and film actress, which takes the viewer to a world that does not exist anymore, because, as Barbara Krafftówna says in the film, "The huge world in which I lived is already on the other side of the mirror ..." Barbara Krafftówna becomes an ageless character in the film, or like a little Alice from a fairy tale, she crosses the border of realism. For years, it was the key to her acting. The film received a universal message: "Sky is the limit". Imagination has always been an escape from hopelessness for Krafftówna, because her biography, full of professional successes, was not without tragedy. Her life entered the difficult Polish history - Volhynia, the war, Stalinist times, communism, the fight for freedom. Imagination, as she put it herself, was "an escape from the void." The main narrative of the film consists of the protagonist's internal monologues, the archival ones collected over the years by the narrator and screenwriter of the film, Remigiusz Grzela, and those recorded today. These monologues refer to the most outstanding film role of Krafftówna in the film by Wojciech Jerzy Has, "How to Be Loved".
