AGNIESZKA IS NOT HERE

POLISH TITLE: AGNIESZKI TU NIE MA

The director’s father has not been in touch with his daughter for 29 years; she left with her mother after the parents had split up. And nothing would have changed if Paweł had not wanted to meet his stepsister. Yet he decided to persuade his father to contact the daughter whom he loved and missed but did not want or was afraid to meet. ‘You want to make a film, not to meet her’, this is what the father says to his son. Is it true? The meeting that follows changes everything.
