Little Rose

Warsaw, 1967. The Polish Communist government has begun to worry about intellectual dissent in the wake of the “Prague Spring” and, in reaction to the Communist debacle during the Six-Day War in the Middle East, it is beginning an antisemitic campaign under the guise of “anti-Zionism.” Kamila, the young secretary in the dean’s office at the university, is madly in love with Roman, who apparently has a management post in a state foreign trade enterprise. But her lover is, in fact, an officer of the dreaded state security police (SB) and his real line of work is surveillance of dissident intellectuals. One of his targets is a well known writer-professor Adam Warczewski, suspected of clandestine contacts with Western anti- communist circles. Roman will use his beautiful fiancée as a secret weapon against Warczewski, asking Kamila to become his lover. A dangerous love triangle, and a hazardous play of emotions, that take place against the backdrop of rising political dissent and government repression. –Mar del Plata International Film Festival
