Set against the landscape of the Polish transformation from communism to capitalism, Woman of... spans 45 years of the life of Aniela Wesoły and her journey to find personal liberty as a trans woman. She faces hardships in family life and complicated attitudes in her environment. What choices will Aniela have to make to become who she truly is?
“Woman of... is a truly important film for us, the result of many years of work, countless meetings with transgender people—people of all ages who have lived in Poland for decades, who have graciously trusted us to share their stories. Aniela – who for almost a half of her life lived as a man in a provincial town, making her laborious journey to freedom – seemed symbolic to us, becoming a metaphor for the transition of Poland, reflecting a society that had once before come together in solidarity to bring down the communist regime.”
