ABOUT THE FILM

Warsaw, the 1960s. Millions of Poles sit down in front of black-and-white television sets.

And suddenly someone catches their eye. It is Kalina Jędrusik (Maria Dębska) – a phenomenal actress and singer who brings colour into a drab reality. She tempts with charm and sex appeal. She electrifies the gentlemen and scandalises the ladies. Here she is: the first sex bomb of the Polish People’s Republic and the Polish Marilyn Monroe.

Kalina refuses to conform to the era’s model of womanhood. She lives by her own rules, which does not always sit well with a prudish society and some influential figures in power. Numerous scandals, life in a love triangle with her husband Stanisław Dygat (Leszek Lichota) and Lucek (Krzysztof Zalewski), controversial statements and outfits oozing sex appeal also earn Kalina the title of the chief scandal-maker of the Polish People’s Republic. And yet the biggest scandal involving her is only about to begin…

“Autumn Girl” portrays an important chapter in the life of Kalina Jędrusik, who can confidently be called the greatest icon of Polish pop culture. It is a story of the lights and shadows, the highs and lows of her dizzying career. The events of Jędrusik’s life play out in an atmosphere of wild fun among the social elite of the day.

On screen we will also see other colourful figures of Polish culture: Kazimierz Kutz (Borys Szyc), Tadeusz Konwicki (Paweł Tomaszewski) and the creators of Kabaret Starszych Panów – Jeremi Przybora (Rafał Rutkowski) and Jerzy Wasowski (Dariusz Basiński).
