Poland, 1962.

On the eve of her vows, 18-year-old novice Anna meets her estranged aunt Wanda, a cynical Communist judge who shocks the naive Anna with a stunning revelation: Anna is Jewish and her real name is Ida. Tasked with this new identity, Ida and Wanda embark on a revelatory journey to their old family home to discover the fate of Ida's birth parents and unearth dark secrets dating back to the Nazi occupation.

Masterfully directed by Pawel Pawlikowski (My Summer of Love) and photographed in stunning black and white (in the classic 1.37:1 Academy ration), Ida is a vital and cinematic evocation of postwar Poland and an intensely personal tale of moral and spiritual awakening.
