The story

What Is A Prayer About?

The premise of A Prayer without spoilers.

An elderly woman lives a quiet life in her small home, where we observe her daily routines. Through these moments, details about her personality emerge: she enjoys gardening, speaks Polish during phone calls, and appreciates a good nap. A prayer is heard, revealed to be a recitation from her mother-in-law, the Polish poet Zofia Bohdanowiczowa, who also experienced displacement from Poland. The film explores connections across three generations—one through poetry, one through lived experience, and the third embodied in the film's creation, a poignant combination of sound and image.
