Polish actress and writer, born in 1982 in Nysa, Poland. She graduated from the Academy of Theatre Arts in Krakow. From 1999 to 2007, she was a member of the acting ensemble at the Ludowy Theater in Krakow, and played at the Contemporary Theater in Warsaw between 2007 and 2014. “The story presented in the film shows that sometimes children will encounter a problem, but they must remember that they are not alone. That they cannot give up because they have wonderful people around them. I want to show parents who come to the cinema with their children that toddlers, teenagers, have their own subjectivity. In the film, there is room for children to scream, be sad, and angry. I also found space for adults and their mistakes – because such mistakes, despite great love for the child, often happen.” - Magdalena Nieć
