On her 14th birthday, Mila dreams of the perfect party – she wants her sister Kejt, a popular influencer, to impress her friends, and she hopes that Krzysiek, the boy she has a crush on, will show up. But the night quickly spirals out of control – online dramas, shattered dreams, and a harsh encounter with adulthood put the sisters’ bond to the test. Amid the chaos of that one night, they discover that likes aren’t what matter most – their relationship does.
A graduate of the directing department at the Lodz Film School. Creator of short films – both documentary and fiction – which have been screened at festivals worldwide. Fascinated by the complexity of human nature, digital reality, and the unspoken. In everyday life, a mother of two cats.
