Artist Apolonia navigates love, art and survival in a male-dominated world, confronting power, passion and purpose over a decade of transformation.
Trace the extraordinary journey of painter Apolonia Sokol across thirteen years, as she fights for her voice and vision in a world shaped by patriarchy, capitalism and conflict. Balancing ambition, artistry and identity, Apolonia’s story unfolds as both an intimate portrait of a woman in art, and a reflection of the struggle to create freely in turbulent times.
Rialto Recommends: Apolonia Apolonia. An unflinching and deeply human exploration of what it means to be a female artist today. More than a film, it’s a living canvas of resilience and beauty, capturing one woman’s creative evolution amid chaos. For lovers of art, truth, and the power of persistence, this is essential viewing.
