The Queen and the Smokehouse

In a Polish seaside town, Miecia, known as the local “Queen,” rules over her smokehouse—a beloved community fixture. For forty years, her dedication has sustained both the business and its employees. But when health issues force her to step back, its survival is at stake. Set in Łeba, a bustling tourist hub shaped by its post-communist legacy, the film explores the intersection of womanhood, ambition, and identity, asking: What do we lose—and what might we gain—when we let go of the roles that define us?
