The Peasants

From the creators of Loving Vincent comes this film about a young woman who is determined to forge her own path within the confines of a late 19th century Polish village. The community is a hotbed of gossip and ongoing feuds, held together, rich and poor, by pride for their land, colorful tradition, and a deep-rooted patriarchy. When Jagna finds herself caught between the conflicting desires of the village’s richest farmer, his eldest son, and other leading men of the community, her resistance puts her on a tragic collision course with the community she grew up in. This hand-painted animated historical drama is based on Władysław Reymont’s Nobel Prize-winning novel from 1904.
