Battling bipolar disorder while fighting for creative freedom, she embodies a generation's defiance. Her real daughter, who stars and also co-scripted, delivers an unvarnished yet deeply sympathetic portrayal, set to an electrifying post-punk soundtrack.\r\nThe story is based on Lena G\u00f3ra\u2019s life and focuses on the period around her birth and early childhood. Her real mother, Ela \u201cMalwina\u201d G\u00f3ra, was a singer in legendary bands Pancerne Rowery (\u201cArmored Bicycles\u201d) and Apteka (\u201cPharmacy\u201d), central figures of the Tri-City (Gda\u0144sk, Gdynia, Sopot in Northern Poland) alternative scene in the 1980s, known for their stage energy, improvisation, and poetic imagination. Imago captures this unique atmosphere, with musical sequences resembling artistic rituals and transformative experiences.\r\nFor the film, the band Zakaz K\u0105pieli (\u201cNo Swimming\u201d) was formed, inspired by the alternative sound of the 1980s. Composer Andrzej Smolik collaborated with musicians to create original pieces performed live on set \u2013 without playback \u2013 capturing the raw energy of the era.\r\nOlga Chajdas (b. 1983) is a film and theatre director and screenwriter. Her debut feature, Nina, won awards at festivals in Rotterdam, Bydgoszcz, and Gdynia, earning her recognition in Poland and abroad. Imago is her second feature film, a multilayered story that can be interpreted as a reflection on artistic identity, a portrait of the Tri-City music scene, or a chronicle of the transition from communism to democracy, with a deeply personal dimension exploring the bond between mother and daughter."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/en\/2025\/11\/06\/polish-movie-at-soundtrack-tel-aviv-festival-2025\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/11\/image-w1280.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/11\/image-w1280.jpg","width":1280,"height":720},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/en\/2025\/11\/06\/polish-movie-at-soundtrack-tel-aviv-festival-2025\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Polish movie at Soundtrack Tel Aviv Festival 2025"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Tel Avivie","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/#\/schema\/person\/d79284795161befe1ce8f409ff42adba","name":"krizevskia","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5f3ab76377e8232062aa9596f362ee33?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5f3ab76377e8232062aa9596f362ee33?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"krizevskia"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/author\/krizevskia\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/206"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7308"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7318,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7308\/revisions\/7318"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
