Soon after, she played the role of the rebellious and somewhat unbridled leader of a juvenile gang from Warsaw’s Praga district, Karioka. Interestingly, the serial character does not speak in her voice. All because just before recording dialogues in the studio, which took place standing up, she broke her leg. Instead, the director’s wife took part in the dubbing.
