Canadian Dresses (2013)

In 1980s Poland, Sophia celebrates her birthday, anticipating the arrival of her daughter Amelia and son-in-law Taddeusz, who have lived in Canada for a decade. Amelia unexpectedly arrives alone, revealing the true reason for her departure and a painful truth about her father. This marks the beginning of a complex family story. Canadian dresses symbolize a lost childhood, a controlling mother, hidden passions, and a stolen piece of jewelry – all ironically seen through the eyes of a young, 9-year-old boy.
