Autumn Girl tells the story of beloved performer Kalina Jędrusik as she navigates the entertainment world in 1960s Poland. The country’s answer to Marilyn Monroe, Jędrusik’s appeal as both a singer and a sex symbol made men weak at the knees and women more than a little jealous.
When her career is threatened by an embittered director she refuses to sleep with, Jędrusik is faced with the reality of existing as a woman in the industry. Despite rejection and humiliation looming around every corner, Kalina refuses to bow down, holding onto her signature spark even when it seems like it’s just her against the world.
