PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE

1968. Warsaw, Poland. Hania, a happy-go-lucky, aspiring actress, typically avoids the increasingly discriminatory rhetoric from her country’s government. The same goes for the charming Janek, a tech student. After meeting at a play one night, the two are instantly smitten with each other. Hania’s evasion of her country’s politics, however, changes when her father, a secretly Jewish man, is targeted by the government for his Zionist beliefs. The government’s increasingly antisemitic ideology puts her father, as well as Hania and her mother, at risk of deportation. Can the lovers circumvent their situation and live the rest of their lives together?
