Wspaniały film.
Jeden z najpiękniejszych filmów, jakie kiedykolwiek powstały w obronie kobiet z ludu, ich wytrzymałości i solidarności. Mike Leigh to humanistyczny filmowiec, jeden z najlepszych w swoim gatunku.
AI-translated from Greek.


Only Vera Drake and the audience know what she does on the quiet: she helps women end unwanted pregnancies, free of charge, believing it’s a good deed. Winner of the Golden Lion at Venice, the film never judges her, and though it’s set over seventy years ago, none of it feels like the past.
It’s London in 1950, and forty-five-year-old Vera Drake spends her days cleaning other people’s houses, putting the kettle on for everyone and getting a hot dinner on the table for her husband and their two grown-up children. Two afternoons a week she also performs illegal abortions, without ever taking a penny, because as she sees it she’s just helping girls who have nowhere else to turn. Her family suspect nothing, until one of the women almost dies.
