Adam (Dawid Ogrodnik) has been working in The Netherlands to save money for his girlfriend (Agnieszka Suchora) and incoming baby. On Christmas Eve, he pays a surprise visit to his family home in Poland, where a night of vodka-fuelled family revelations and dramatic falling-outs unfold across the course of Christmas dinner. Silent Night depicts the necessary complexities of familial bonds and, in a neat touch, also explores issues of Polish migrant worker identity. Piotr Domalewski’s debut won 16 accolades in Poland, including Best Film at the Polish Film Festival (2017) and Best Film at the Polish Film Awards.
