Lessons of Love / Lekcja Miłości

Running time: 75'

Throughout her life, Jola did only what others expected of her. As a mother of six and the wife of an impetuous husband, she put on makeup every day, put on colorful clothes and pretended everything was fine. However, one day something breaks in her – Jola finds the strength to leave her husband and start living life to the fullest. She meets friends, dances in the Kawiarnia Uśmiech, writes poems and songs. She sings about love – a feeling she has always dreamed of but never experienced. Unexpectedly meets Wojtek, who treats her like a queen. Will she be able to open herself to love for the first time in her life? Especially when she finds out she has less time than she thought?
