Her Will Be Done (18)
Director: Julia Kowalski, France/Poland, 2025, 95', French, Polish with English subtitles
Abertoir presents Her Will Be Done, a searing tale of a young woman’s slow reclamation of power in equal amount realism and fantasy. Powerful performances from newcomer Maria Wróbel and genre-favourite Roxane Mesquida play out against the dour greys of patriarchy and repression in Julia Kowalski’s contemporary folk horror.
Nawojka (Maria Wróbel), 20, dreams of escaping her harsh life working at the family farm. Under the influence of the free-spirited Sandra (Roxane Mesquida), Naw experiences trance-like episodes and strange powers, just like her dead mother before her…
'a tale of transgressive women in unwelcoming places, and what it takes to survive.' - Screen International
