NIKOTYNA

Christmas Eve 1981 with Poland under martial law, 15 year old Marta has to spend Christmas with her family by candle light due to the electricity being cut off. In the sombre atmosphere of the family home altercations come to light. Marta leaves the home after a fight with her father. Leaving the family conflict behind her, Marta experiences another kind of conflict in the outside world: the sinister and brutal oppression of martial law out on the streets of Łodz, an experience which will change her life irreversibly.
