A new biographical film directed by Karolina Bielawska, which explores the life of legendary Polish singer Violetta Villas, has been screened at the 51st Gdynia Polish Film Festival. The film seeks to deconstruct the singer’s persona by examining the tension between her public image and her private identity as Czesława Maria Gospodarek, as well as her complex relationship with her son.

Actress Sandra Drzymalska, who portrays Villas, described the role as an “intense internal struggle” and noted that her primary challenge was building an emotional connection with the character. During the festival, Drzymalska became visibly moved while discussing her preparation. The singer’s son, Krzysztof Gospodarek, attended the screening to witness the portrayal of his mother.
