Synopsis

A story about women, set in the present and in 1950s Warsaw. The main character is Sabina, a quiet, shy woman who has just turned thirty. Clearly, she lacks a man in her life. Her mother knows all about it and tries at all costs to find her daughter a good candidate for a husband. The whole situation is controlled by the grandmother, an eccentric lady with a sharp tongue from whom no secret can be concealed. Successive admirers arrive at the pre-war tenement where the women live, but Sabina is interested in none of them. One day, appearing out of nowhere, comes the charming, intelligent, and terribly good-looking Bronislaw. His presence will spark off a series of unexpected events revealing the darker side of the women’s nature. —Transilvania International Film Festival.

The 'terribly good-looking' :) Bronislaw's son coming in with his boyfriend is an addition to the script which in my opinion is similar to adding some mustard to an icecream.

I think the movie is more about living in the '50s in a communist country rather than "the darker side of woman's nature". Very good and strong characters, very credible atmosphere. I felt the relief and happiness of the two ladies at the death of Stalin :). I liked the movie.
