The latest film from acclaimed filmmaker, Pawel Pawlikowski (behind Last Resort, My Summer of Love and The Woman in the Fifth), unspools in his birth country of Poland, circa 1962. Anna is a beautiful eighteen year old woman, preparing to become a nun at the convent where she has lived since orphaned as a child. She learns she has a living relative she must visit before taking her vows, her mother’s sister Wanda. Together, the two women embark on a voyage of discovery, driving through the bleak wintry Polish countryside to uncover the truth about their pasts, and each other. Anna learns her aunt is not only a former hardline Communist state prosecutor notorious for sentencing priests and others to death, but also a Jew. Anna learns that she too is Jewish – and that her real name is Ida, a revelation that forces her to confront the truth about her family.
