Film written into the dramatic history of post war Poland, that still remains universal in its story – a struggle of two parents to regain their dignity and balance in life after losing their child. From the director: Pardon is going to be a very personal picture. I want it to be inspired by the story of my grandparents – Anna and Jakub. Their life, shaped by the landscape of post war Poland, had a particular, permanent undertone of suffering, stubbornness, courage and…love. For years, I was taught stories about heroes; in primary school in Popielawy, in high-school in Wrocław, in college, on the street. The political climate was changing, and with it our perspectives changed, but for me there was one constant: the certainty that the bravest people I have ever met was my grandmother Hania and my grandfather Jakub.
