White Marriage

Individual desires versus collective norms. Artur Tyszkiewicz reveals the fragile nature of social order.

Girls abandon their juvenile innocence which results in a struggle for sexual identity and rebellion against oppressive tradition. Despite cultural progress, one is still lodged in the animal kingdom. Desire and anarchy, truth and grotesque. This surprisingly modern story is relevant for every generation.

Spectacle for adult audiences.
