Does family really look best in photographs? The first viewers have already had the chance to find out whether this well-known saying holds true for the characters of “Black Sheep”. The latest TVN Grupa Discovery production had its gala premiere yesterday, 11 August. We present photos from the event.
Among the audience gathered at the Helios cinema in Warsaw, one could spot a whole constellation of stars. The evening belonged to the filmmakers. All the actors playing the main characters in the film graced the event with their presence: Arkadiusz Jakubik, Magdalena Popławska, Kamil Szeptycki, Agata Różycka, Włodzimierz Press, Anna Cieślak and Anna Smołowik. Also in attendance were, among others: Agnieszka Woźniak – Starak, Małgorzata Rozenek Majdan and Radosław Majdan, Ewa Drzyzga, Robert Kochanek, Kinga Sawczuk, Danny Ferreri and Marietta Witkowska.
“Black Sheep”, directed by Aleksander Pietrzak, can be seen in cinemas from 13 August!


“Black Sheep” is a bittersweet story about a modern family in which everyone has had enough of something. When the crises, conflicts and desires suppressed for years finally explode, everyone starts living on their own terms. Or at least that’s what they think… Will the family members find their happiness? It is a film about bonds that cannot be broken. In a funny way, it answers important questions about family relationships and growing into change.
Aleksander Pietrzak, director:
The film touches on several themes, such as the choice between career and family, growing into fatherhood, trying to find your feet in a completely new life situation, but above all, I think, this film is about how a child creates a bond forever. The two most beautiful emotions are laughter and tears. That is what a comedy drama can give us, and that – I hope – is what “Black Sheep” will give us.
Anna Waśniewska, producer:
It is a universal story about the road to maturity in which each of us can find ourselves. In a funny way, it shows generational differences, problems arising from a lack of communication, and the fear of showing one’s true feelings. We were interested in showing the truth about family and the various moments in the life of a small community. Funny, sometimes sad and frightening. After the difficult experience we have shared over the past year, we know that everyone is now hungry for positive emotions, and those will certainly be delivered by Alek Pietrzak’s film “Black Sheep”.
