synopsis
Ki is a young woman who no longer wants to live with the father of her child. She moves into a house in which lives Miko, a serious man who does not care for distractions.  The responsibility of raising a child on her own comes up against the need to work and the wish to live a carefree life.
“KI is a film portrait. It’s a story about becoming mature enough to be responsible for oneself and those who surround you. The main character – Ki – does not want to accept the limitations that taking care of a baby imposes on her. Skillfully she divides the responsibilities of taking care of her little son among her friends. She loves her son but at the same time she wants to fulfill herself in other fields. She escapes into the world, which is temporary and blown up, glittering, and which attracts her. Miko, whom she meets on the way, is like a polar opposite that she will never reach. Nonetheless, this pole is magnetizing and intriguing.” (Leszek Dawid)


This delicate, ironic and open-ended movie is actually a cry. But not a cry of the feminist revolution. Ki, a lonesome mother of a little child from Warsaw, is a parody of the "emancipated woman". She presses others for help, but deep inside she is alone.
The women who help her are no different. Neither are the men, who form a caste of neurotics, unfit for a lasting relationship or for creating a family. There are two excellent characters in this film: Roma Gąsiorowska and Adam Woronowicz. She is assertive, bold, and wisely stupid. She survives setbacks and carries on. He is self-sufficient. He does not get involved in relationships. When required, he acts as her husband only to return to his cozy isolation afterwards. How can they be a match for each other? (Tadeusz Sobolewski)
