REFRAINS
POLISH TITLE: REFRENY
Three generations of women with close bonds who share experiences. The memories that accompany them make a repetitious tangle of emotions and lives. When the youngest woman is on the verge of maturity, she remembers her childhood and a letter that her grandma left for her.
