Is there only one queen? Ko¿uchowska as Łepkowska
The comedy is one of the most anticipated premieres of 2022. The script, inspired by her own life, was written by Ilona £epkowska, the creator of the success of the best Polish series, such as “M jak miłość” or “Barwy Szczęśliwa” and hit comedies – “Oh, Karol” or “Kogel-mogel”. The flavor of this ironic comedy is enhanced by the fact that the main role of the successful screenwriter and producer, the queen of the Polish film market, was played by Ma³gorzata Kożuchowska.
The result of cooperation between Łepkowska, Kożuchowska and director Tomasz Konecki (“Testosteron”, “Lejdis”, “Listy do M. 3”) is a daring comedy. Kożuchowska on the screen is partnered by, among others Artur ¯mijewski, Zofia Domalik and Rafa³ Zawierucha. The titular heroine, a real bitch, has to face life’s turmoil that she never expected.
