Anna Grodzka

Aniela has lived the first half of her life as a man: with an office job, a wife, and two children. But neither her family's opposition nor repression by the government in Poland can stop her from finally becoming the person she's always been.

Trans-Action tells the story of an extraordinary woman. Anna Grodzka who in 2011 became the first transgender person in the Polish government, and the third transgender member of government in world history, was born in the male body and decided to finally begin her life as a woman only in her 50s. The film documents the most important chapters in this intimate process of transformation. We observe Anna in her daily activities in Warsaw, we witness her intimate conversations with her son and closest friends.

In this hypnotic continuation of PPPasolini, filmmaker Małga Kubiak explores the dreams Pier Paolo Pasolini never got to realize. While the first film imagined his final hours in a surreal version of Stockholm, Epilog takes us further—into the world he longed to escape to. Pasolini had planned to move to Morocco, to live, write, and disappear from Italy’s gaze. But his death ended that story too soon. PPPasolini Epilog is the imagined afterlife of that plan: a haunting, sensual film filled with echoes of Petrolio, his unfinished novel, and reflections on exile, desire, and creation.
