"I must warn you: this is a profoundly sensitive film that has evolved into a powerful social statement on the difficulty of first recognizing - and later escaping - abusive relationships. The director spent extensive time engaging with survivors of domestic violence, the film is built upon their authentic stories and testimonies. It is so unflinchingly realistic that there were even several recorded incidents of the lead actor being confronted in the street. In Poland, the film drew millions of viewers in its opening week, with numbers climbing even higher in the second. Such immense popularity is a testament to the film’s visceral impact and the undeniable urgency of its subject matter." (Festival Director Algirdas Ramaška)
