The screening of the documentary film Miłość polsko / russkaja lubow [Polish-Russian love] and a meeting with the Polish-Russian couples who took part in it, moderated by Barbara Włodarczyk.

On the eve of Women's Day we organised a screening of a documentary film directed by Paweł Nazaruk and Tomasz Adamski Miłość polsko / russkaja lubow and a meeting with the Polish-Russian couples who took part in it, moderated by Barbara Włodarczyk.

Polish-Russian love. Is it possible? Is it more difficult than Polish-Polish love? It is said that love conquers everything. Unless there is a Poland-Russia match or hot water gets turned off in Russia. The film presents seven Polish-Russian couples, who spoke about their experiences and shared what they have in common, what are the differences and where they find a platform for communication. They talked about: mutual stereotypes, family relations, history and politics, models of masculinity and femininity, marriage and childrearing. The film is a warm, often amusing and sometimes touching story about human relationships and the fact that love does not respect any limitations.
