Synopsis :
After last year's documentary 'Bad Boys Cell 425', Janusz Mrozowski Janusz Mrozowski :
Born in Poland in 1948, he has been living in Paris since 1970.
In 1978 he made his first short film, 'Rzecz'. He set up the Filmogene studio in 1987.
He made his feature debut 'Lucy's Revenge' in Burkina Faso in 1998; the film won him an M-Net All Africa Film Award (the African equivalent of an Oscar) in Pretoria. 'Bad Boys Cell 425', the only Polish-language film screened at Cannes 2009, was his documentary debut.
returns with a picture about incarcerated women.
Locked up on 15 square metres in the Lubliniec prison, the women talk about men and freedom. They smoke, laugh, and cuddle. They talk about their daily lives, their regrets, their anxieties, their hopes. From behind the cigarette smoke and the teddy bears hanging around their beds emerges their extraordinary story - true and modest. An intimate portrait of seven Polish women prisoners under the discreet gaze of Janusz Mrozowski's camera.
