From the Oscar-nominated filmmakers of Loving Vincent comes the painterly story of Jagna, a young woman determined to forge her own path within the confines of a late-19th-century Polish village—a hotbed of gossip, feuds, adherence to tradition, and deep-rooted patriarchy. When Jagna finds herself caught between the conflicting desires of the community’s leading men, her resistance puts her on a tragic collision course.
Animated by more than 100 oil painters, The Peasants is based on Władysław Reymont’s Nobel Prize–winning 1904 novel. As filmmaker Dorota Kobiela (DK Welchman) said, “I felt a strong need to tell a story about women: to show their struggles, passion, and strength.”
