  5. Fact Sheet

This is a tragic story of a peasant girl, Jagna, forced to marry a much older, wealthy farmer, Boryna, despite her love for his son Antek. With time, the villagers begin to hate and envy Jagna so she has to fight to preserve her independence. Set at the turn of the 20th century, the story's dramatic turn ties into the changing seasons, hard labor in the fields and traditional local holidays.
