Home Sweet Home (Dom Dobry)

Directed by Wojciech Smarzowski, Home Sweet Home is an unflinching drama about domestic abuse hidden behind the façade of romantic love. What begins as a fairy-tale relationship quickly transforms into a cycle of manipulation and violence, as a shared home becomes a place of fear.

With his trademark stark realism, Smarzowski exposes the mechanisms of control, silence, and social indifference that trap victims behind closed doors. Both intimate and socially charged, the film confronts uncomfortable truths about power, responsibility, and complicity. A major box-office success in Poland, Home Sweet Home sparked widespread public debate and remains one of the year’s most talked-about films.
