Grandmother Marianna, a farmer, grows up at the end of the Second World War. Her daughter Róza, steeped in socialist values, leaves the village for Gdańsk – following Szymek into the heart of the Solidarity revolution. Róza's daughter Waleria grows up in a reunified Germany, loses touch with her mother tongue, and watches her Babcia Marianna's world fade into the mists of time. Then Waleria learns that she cannot have children. And unexpected questions arise: What does it mean to be the last? What does she owe the women who came before her? «A book like a matryoshka doll!» – Barbi Marković

This event is part of the series «Bodies Tell Stories,» which brings together contemporary texts of intellectual incisiveness and aesthetic assurance to explore questions of genealogy, embodied experience, and structures of violence.
