THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG

POLISH TITLE: JAJKO I KURA

A group of women, varying in age, arrive in a large house in the country to attend what they describe as the 'circle', an informal gathering where the participants, away from their everyday lives, share their experiences. The film tells a story of relations between mothers and daughters who strive to overcome the pattern of unhappy lives and discover a path toward mutual understanding. Participation in the 'women's circle' is intended to help them achieve this.
