Maria Dębska stars as ‘rebel’ sex symbol Kalina Jędrusik in powerful new biopic

Maria Dębska (L), who recently appeared in “Piłsudski”, will star as Kalina Jędrusik (R) in the new film due for release next year. Renata Czarnkowska/RE Studio/Zbigniew Matuszewski/PAP

Telling one year in the life of Jędrusik, the film looks at how the singer/actress struggled with expectations imposed on her by society, which director Katarzyna Klimkiewicz describes as “a universal topic and always up to date. Each of us has to face what is considered appropriate for sex, age, etc. Kalina was in the spotlight, adored and hated, she experienced these dilemmas in extreme form.”
