For nearly 140 years, the work of Bolesław Prus has ignited the emotions and imagination of subsequent generations. Now this timeless story hits the big screen in a new, spectacular, cinematic installment.

Lalka is a hugely successful superproduction and the most star-studded film in the history of Polish cinema, starring Marcin Dorociński as Stanisław Wokulski, Kamila Urzedowska as Izabela Łęcka and Marek Kondrat, returning to the big screen after 16 years as Ignacy Rzzy. Cicki.

The new film adaptation of Lalka is a poignant, universal story told with a contemporary sensibility about love and unfulfillment, about aspirations and transformation, about a world that is just ending. It's a film that happens once every few decades: epic, full of emotion, made with impressive scenography, costumes and makeup worked out to the smallest detail, and a truly stellar cast.

Warsaw at the end of the 19th century. The heart of Stanisław Wokulski (Marcin Dorociński) is possessed by a mad love for Izabela Łęcka (Kamila Urzedowska). He, thanks to the fortune won in the war, returns to the country and decides to enter the world of the higher spheres in order to win the hand of his beloved. She is dazzling and haughty, but despite her aristocratic background, she struggles with the specter of financial ruin. At Wokulski's side stands his faithful friend, Ignacy Rzecki (Marek Kondrat), a romantic who watches with nostalgia as the world of ideals gives way to social aspirations and the ruthless game of interests. Wokulski enters the labyrinth of aristocratic salons, where every gesture can be the beginning of intrigue, and every word — a harbinger of betrayal. Rivals in his path, unexpected alliances and dramatic choices will test his dreams and faith in the people. This is a story about a love infatuation that changes the destinies of the characters and blurs the boundaries between heart and reason.
