I will redecorate the kitchen by Ondjaki - Angola - 2022 - 28 min.

One rainy night, a woman ponders her past, present and future. Among the memories of family, husband and war, there is a reflection on the condition of the African woman. It is also a symbolic look at life during and after the war. What memories can't be erased? What voices come back in the face of guilt, pain, and anxiety? And how many dawns does the night hide in itself?

Videos will be shown with Polish and English subtitles.

After the screenings, there will be an interview with a special guest.
