Year : 2014
Duration : 120mins
Director : Łukasz Palkowski 
A film based on real-life events in the life of Professor Zbigniew Religa, who performed the first successful heart transplant in Poland in the 1980s. It is the story of a rebel who challenged nature, the regime, and his own shortcomings and dared to change existing rules. The Professor saved thousands of human lives, yet not all his surgeries were successful. As regards his patients, Religa made life-and-death decisions on a daily basis. Bogowie is a film about great ambition and willpower, but also about the price one has to pay for success. 

2nd December : Moje Córki Krowy (These Daughters Of Mine)
Year : 2015
Duration : 88 mins
Director : Kinga Dębska
A warm tale about family relationships in a dramatic moment; it tells the poignant story of two sisters who have to join forces despite their mutual dislike when faced with a difficult situation. Their mother’s sudden illness forces them to act together; they also have to take care of their beloved but despotic father. Gradually, Marta and Kasia come closer to each other and regain their relationship, which gives rise to a series of tragicomic situations. 

3rd December : Cosmos
Year : 2015
Duration : 103 mins
Director : Andrzej Żuławski
Adapted from Witold Gombrowicz’s dauntingly surreal novel of the same name, Cosmos is Andrzej Żuławski’s first film in 15 years. It tells the story of Witold who has just failed his law-school exams and Fuchs who has just quit his job at a Parisian fashion company. Arriving for a few days away at a so-called family guesthouse, they are greeted by a series of unsettling omens. In this guest house there is also a baleful mouth, that of the maid, and a perfect mouth, that of the young woman of the house with whom Witold falls madly in love. What happens next?

4th December : Mów Mi Marianna (Call Me Marianna)
Year : 2015
Duration : 75 mins
Director : Karolina Bielawska
Marianna is an attractive 40-year-old woman who has just sued her parents in order to obtain a sex change. Alienated by her mother and neglecting her best friends, she seeks refuge in a theatre group where she comes to make sense of her situation by rehearsing a play based on her past. When the days to the operation loom over her, Marianna kindles an unlikely romance with an older gentleman who offers her a ray of hope, but she remains confronted with the idea of losing what she holds dearest to her – her family – and she must face the chilling reminder of the sacrifices one takes to be themselves.
