What is “If I Were You” about?
Kasia and Krzysiek are a young, attractive married couple with an adorable little son and a flat in a picturesque neighbourhood. They seem to have every reason to be happy, and yet they are on the verge of divorce. They spend every day the same way – arguing. Until one morning, when they suddenly have to cooperate like never before. All because of… a body swap. From now on Krzysiek is Kasia and Kasia is Krzysiek. Each of them has to take over the other’s duties and face problems they never even knew existed… Will this make them see each other differently and learn empathy? The body swap is merely a device the filmmakers use to say a few perceptive things about the world we live in.
The lead roles of both Kasia and Krzysiek are played by Paulina Gałązka and Miron Jagniewski, joined on screen by Maria Pakulnis, Magdalena Lamparska, Jan Frycz, Janusz Chabior, Michał Czernecki, Bartłomiej Kotschedoff and Delfina Wilkońska, among others. “If I Were You” was directed by Antonio Galdámez, for whom it is his feature-length fiction debut. The screenplay was written by Łukasz Światowiec and Anna Bielak.
The film is produced by TVN Warner Bros. Discovery. Distribution is handled by NEXT FILM.
