“53 Wars is a study of loneliness in a relationship. A love story, a story of dependency on love, dependency on a partner, dependency on war. A tale of a gradual internal collapse and disintegration. I hope the film will forge a place for itself in the discussion on the condition of contemporary humanity, contemporary women,” - Ewa Bukowska
