Woman on the Roof is an incisive critique of womanhood in Poland that resonates with global audiences. At 60 years old, Mirka is struggling to find direction as she enters her twilight years. She stages a sudden act of defiance – an attempted bank robbery. Mirka’s journey through cold state bureaucracies uncover a world where she struggles to belong. Woman on the Roof offers insights on an increasingly alienating world. What happens in our twilight years and how do we navigate it? How do our own positions in the world shape the ways in which we grow old?
