The Peasants
Hugh Welchman, DK Welchman / PL, RS, LT, 2023 / 116 min.
Hand-painted, digital animated film about life and traditions in a 19th-century Polish village, by the directing duo that brought us the Oscar-nominated Loving Vincent. Farmer’s daughter Jagna strives for freedom in matters of the heart, but is forced to submit to a big landowner who wants to marry her.
Lipce, Poland, in the late nineteenth century. For hundreds of years, this picturesque village has lived to the rhythm of the seasons. Sowing, harvesting and paying taxes: this is how it’s always been, and this is how it has to stay. Doughty farmer’s daughter Jagna has an independent spirit and wants to do things her way: she falls in love with Antek, who is not only married, but is also the son of the landowner.
