Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Bitter coming-of-age story of a 15-year-old girl, learning to be a dressmaker, who lives with her parents in a typical urban area of blocks of flats in Warsaw. Her family is typical too - her father drinks, while her mother finds consolation in religion. The TV set is constantly switched on. Tereska dreams of being a fashion designer, and as she is good at drawing, her dream may come true one day. However, she cannot expect love and support from her parents. Tereska tries to find acceptance outside her family. She makes friends with Renata, who teaches her to smoke cigarettes, drink wine, steal and kiss boys. Her other new friends are even less acceptable. She spends some time with a crippled porter, a lonely alcoholic, who under cover of friendship expects sexual services from her. Her dreams of a great love are ruined in a tragic finale. The film is black-and-white, shot like a documentary and features non-professional actors.
