THESE DAUGHTERS OF MINE
A heart-warming and honest story about the strength of family ties and two sisters faced with unexpected illness of their parents. It is as true as life: sometimes sad and sometimes funny.
Marta (Agata Kulesza) is a successful actress, starring in a popular TV series. Despite all the fame and money, she is still unable to pull her life together. Kasia (Gabriela Muskała), unlike her strong, cynical and domineering sister, is emotional and caring. She works as a teacher and is in a happy although far from perfect relationship with her husband (Marcin Dorociński), whom Marta is not too impressed with. The two sisters couldn’t be more different but a sudden illness of their mother forces them to get closer to each other and regain the contact they lost a long time ago. By a stroke of bad luck, their beloved father (Marian Dziędziel) also falls gravely ill and now they need to take care of him too. These new circumstances trigger a chain of tragicomic situations.
These Daughters of Mine is the second feature from director Kinga Dębska who also wrote the script. ‘The film was born out of my need to face up to the tragic death of my parents,’ Dębska has explained, ‘but the sisters you see on screen aren’t me and my sister’. ‘My dream was to make the film in such a way that the viewer laughs and cries in turns. In the end, the audience must leave the theatre uplifted and not miserable’.
It is a deceptively modest drama that mines grief for all its natural comedy and poetic beauty with genuine pathos in the most delicate of ways.
