Set against the backdrop of Poland's transformation from communism to capitalism, Woman Of spans 45 years in the life of Aniela Wesoly, who lives over half of her adult life as a man in a provincial town. Aniela’s journey to personal liberty as a trans woman reveals hardships in marriage and parenthood, strained family relations, and complicated societal attitudes that constantly place her in impossible situations. What choices will Aniela have to make? What must she sacrifice? Woman Of is a visually stunning epic about a woman transitioning in contemporary Poland, tracing the arc of a life—and a country—to extraordinarily moving effect.
