Comforters

A desolate Polish village in the Romanian Carpathians: a moving film about memory, friendship and transience.

The story of the friendship of women living in a dying Polish village in the Romanian Carpathians. Hank and Bronka have already buried their husbands, the children have gone abroad in search of other, better prospects. Independent and independent heroines impress with their serenity, although their reality inexorably recedes into the past. What remains are memories of times that will never come back — and facing the challenges of everyday life together. The nostalgic picture of the vanishing world is filled with unpretentious humor and delights with photos that convey the captivating charm of the Carpathian foothills. Paying attention to detail, the director creates a touching film about memory, friendship and transience. By showing people who can be everything to themselves, it prompts us to reevaluate priorities and look at reality from the less frequented side.
