On the eve of taking her vows, a young novice, Ida, uncovers dark family secrets. 2015 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Poland, 1962. Anna is a young novice who, shortly before taking her vows, uncovers a family secret dating back to the Nazi occupation. Together with her only living relative, Wanda, she sets out on a journey through the Polish countryside to learn more about her past and find her parents' grave. A visually minimalist and deeply moving intimate study of a complex and controversial subject from the wartime past.
"Ida is a film about identity, family, faith, guilt, socialism and music. I wanted to make a film about history, which wouldn't feel like a historical film; a film which is moral, but has no lessons to offer; I wanted to tell a story in which 'everyone has their reasons'; a story closer to poetry than plot. Most of all, I wanted to steer clear of the usual rhetoric of the Polish cinema." (Paweł Pawlikowski)
