THESE DAUGHTERS OF MINE is a warm tale about family relationships in a dramatic moment. It’s a bitter-sweet and poignant story of two sisters who have to join forces despite their mutual dislike when faced with a difficult situation. Marta is a successful actress, the star of a popular series. In spite of her fame and money she still can’t find her way in life. In contrast to her strong-opinionated and dominating older sister, Kasia is sensitive with a tendency towards exaltation. Her marriage is far from perfect; her loser-husband is constantly looking for a job. No great love exists between the two; however, their mother’s sudden illness forces them to act together. They have to take care of their beloved but despotic father. Gradually, Marta and Kasia become closer to each other and regain their relationship, which gives rise to a series of tragicomic situations.

Popular Polish actresses Agata Kulesza and Gabriela Muskala play the two sisters at odds while Marian Dziedziel creates a splendid figure of their father. Marcin Dorocinski shines in the supporting role of a toxic husband.

THESE DAUGHTERS OF MINE is part of CinePolska, a new partnership between the Avalon Theatre and the embassy of Poland that brings award-winning Polish films to Washington, DC. CinePolska films will screen on Jun 29, Aug 31 and Nov 30 at the Avalon.
