Ojcowizna (Fatherland)

Sabina, a 22-year-old medical student, is tasked with burying her grandfather’s ashes in Rutki-Kossaki, Poland. According to her grandfather’s will, she must enlist the help of her estranged half-uncle, Mietek, a 78-year-old farmer and Rutki-Kossaki local. As Sabina and Mietek navigate their contrasting values and personalities—her quiet demeanor and trust in scientific progress contrasting with his outspoken attitude and naturalist mindset—the story explores themes of mortality, generational grief, and how family lineage can lead the heart to peace.
