Comedy of Marriage(1994)

Comedy of Marriage is a Polish drama following Maria, a housewife trapped in a loveless marriage with a chronically unfaithful husband. Desperate for independence and a life beyond domestic servitude, she makes a bold decision: she abandons her family and relocates to Warsaw in pursuit of a lucrative career. The film explores the tension between societal expectations and personal ambition as Maria navigates her newfound freedom in the city. What begins as an escape becomes a reckoning with identity, autonomy, and the cost of choosing herself. With sharp wit and emotional depth, Comedy of Marriage examines marriage, infidelity, and female agency through the lens of mid-century Polish society, asking whether liberation comes at too high a price.
