Wajda at 100: The Maids of Wilko

18

After the death of a close friend, Wiktor returns to a place of his youth. He reencourages a group of sisters with whom he spent an idyllic summer 15 years prior, discovering the extent to which their lives have changed. Wajda’s most lyrical and poetic work marked a shift in pace and tone, allowing him to meditate on questions of passing time, regret and unfulfilled love.
