This mixture of Polish, not Polish, of being European, gives me a perspective to see Poland through "new eyes" - paradoxically, more closely... because it's from a kind of distance.

My film is very simple: An Eastern European story full of black humor about things everyone can feel and understand.

I found my personal style in black humor and mixing funny things with very touching ones - like trying to force people to cry and smile almost at the same moment.

Poland and my roots are very important for me. That's why I decided to make a feature film in Poland, and with only Polish money.

My horizons are also broadened by working with so many people around Europe. They taught me what I never would have learned just staying in my own country.

In Poland, some people think that I'm kind of scandalous because I'm a woman who should stay at home with her kids instead of making movies about what I want and, even worse, addressing Polish taboos like church, homosexuals and history.

The attitude of the Catholic Church towards homosexuality is well known - it is treated as something unnatural, even as a disease.
