My Polish Honeymoon (Lune de miel... a Zgierz)

synopsis

Opening Night Gala (+ post-screening reception) Packed with charm and laughter, this delightful comedy follows recently married Parisian couple Anna and Adam as they head off on a belated honeymoon to Poland, leaving their baby in the hands of Anna's parents. Whilst Anna hopes to find out something of her family's history, Adam is more interested in having a few days alone with his wife. Immersed in a new but strangely familiar culture, they discover a Poland awash with absurd and wonderful characters, picture perfect beauty and unbearable sadness. Elise Otzenberger's debut feature is a poignant and life affirming tale about rediscovering roots and being Jewish today.
