Director Jacek Borcuch Narrative, 2019, Poland, 96 min Italian, Polish, and French with subtitles Boston Premiere Maria Linde, a Jewish-Polish Nobel Prize winner, lives a bohemian, free-spirited life in her Tuscan villa. A loving mother and grandmother, she also fosters a secret flirtation with a much younger Egyptian man. After a terrorist attack in Rome, Maria refuses to share her neighbors’ hysterical fear and antiimmigrant sentiments. Instead, she very publicly decries Europe’s eroding democracy, but she is not prepared for the consequences of her attitude and comments.
