To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of the Polish Nobel Prize winner for literature, Wladislaw Reymont (1867 - 1925), we are showing the film adaptation of "The Whisper of the Fields", based on the literary classic by the great Polish writer.

Poland in the late 19th century. Young Jagna lives in a village characterized by gossip, the changing seasons, colourful traditions - and a deeply rooted patriarchy. Jagna is promised to the most powerful farmer in the village, but she actually loves his son, the rebellious Antek. When she becomes the plaything of the men, Jagna rebels and takes her fate into her own hands.

After the audience success LOVING VINCENT, the directing duo DK and Hugh Welchman once again create a visually intoxicating masterpiece from countless hand-painted oil paintings with the help of over 100 artists. Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel "The Peasants" by Władysław Reymont, they tell the story of a young woman who is unwilling to submit to an unjust system through the seasons.
