Nights and Days (1975)
Nights and Days is a 1975 Polish film directed by Jerzy Antczak. This epic family drama was based on Maria Dabrowska's novel Noce i dnie, and was described by The Washington Post as "Poland's Gone With the Wind". Set in Kalisz and the Kalisz Region in the second half of the 19th century after the failure of the January Uprising in 1863, the film presents a unique portrait of an oppressed society, life in exile, and the confiscation of private property as told through the loves and struggles of the Niechcic family.
