The Peasants
After the worldwide success of Loving Vincent, the director duo DK Welchman and Hugh Welchman have chosen to focus on one of the most important Polish novels, The Peasants, for which its author W.S. Reymont won the Nobel Prize.
The protagonist of the story is the beautiful Jagna, a poor girl with which the rich old peasant Boryna falls in love. Despite the protests of his family, he marries her. However, Jagna is faced with the decision of whether it is more important for her to live a happy life of affluence or to love Antek, the son of the peasant Boryna. Unfortunately, in the land of tradition, love is not to be preferred. In the film, the directors return to their Polish roots and present Władysław Reymont's novel to the general public using the technique of animated painting, which has already won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of fans around the world thanks to the Oscar-nominated film Loving Vincent. In Jagna, they have not only focused on the novel itself, but have also interpreted the paintings of important representatives of the Young Poland movement, such as Józef Chełmoński, Ferdynand Ruszczyc and Leon Wyczółkowski.
