Que ma volonté soit faite

Her Will Be Done

Que ma volonté soit faite
Julia Kowalski
France, Poland 2025, 95 minutes    

In the bloom of youth, solitary Nawojka dreams of a future far away from the family farm where she works and spends her days. With Sandra’s return to her small community, Nawojka starts experiencing episodes of a hidden nature, similar to those of her deceased mother, as well as the manifestation of impulses she seeks to repress at all costs. “Hell is other people”, Jean-Paul Sartre wrote— a sentiment echoed by his compatriot, filmmaker Julia Kowalski, in this shadowy feature that screened at this year’s Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. In this coming-of-age tale, framed by the horrors of a rural world ruled by men and their deadly games of denunciation that spiral into full-blown witch hunts, desire becomes the deadliest of sins, and redemption, an utter impossibility.
