FADING

POLISH TITLE: NIEPAMIĘĆ

Although serfdom in Poland was formally abolished in 1864, it lasted as long as until the 1930s. Nowadays, little is mentioned about the tragic exploitation that was practiced in Polish villages. Fading by Piotr Brożek tries to bring the denied history of the subject-surf relations back to the public debate. The guides in this story will be Magdalena, a girl with peasant roots, and Franciszek, a descendant of the former oppressors who brought the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to ruin and its eventual collapse.
