Filip Marczewski : 2012
Shameless
The story of a love between a brother and sister, their painful growing up, their defiance of cultural taboos and finally, about the freedom of finding their own way in life. Eighteen-year-old Tadek is a boy rebelling against the world. Right before the end of the school year, he runs away from his aunt to his elder sister Anka, who is his only love. He is ashamed of these feelings and tries to fight them, to no avail. Heedless of the moral and social consequences, he wants to prove worthy of this forbidden love. Anka, also emotionally broken, in an unhappy relationship with the leader of a local neo-Nazi group, finds it difficult to reject her brother's adoration. She needs love and warmth as badly as her brother. At first, Tadek, fighting for the love of his sister, ignores Irmina, an uncompromising Romani girl who seeks his attention. In Tadek, Irmina sees the only one who could help her free herself from the taboos of her people – the law requiring the Romani woman to obediently accept an arranged marriage to a man whom she has never met. Filip Marczewski's formidable debut feature fearlessly yet tenderly explores one of society's last taboos. An incendiary story of love, desire and betrayal between siblings, set to the background of growing European extremism and xenophobia.
