„IMAGO” in cinemas on November 8th! | 25.11.2024

BOGUSŁAWA SCHUBERT and MATEUSZ WIĘCŁAWEK in the film “Imago” directed by Olga Chajdas.

“The late 1980s, the Coast. Ela, the youngest of nine siblings, is just entering adulthood, but she already knows that she fits neither into the rigid rules of the old order nor the emerging new world. She finds asylum in the three-city alternative – until reality claims her.

The story of a young woman craving life amidst the gray of communist Poland, the desire for freedom, sex, the power of youth and the most difficult of bonds – that with her mother. And in the background is the rebellious Tricity music scene, the phenomenon of the 1980s and the harbinger of revolutionary changes in Poland.”
Cinematography by TOMASZ NAUMIUK.

Production design by ANNA ANOSOWICZ.
