I, Olga Hepnarova

Olga Hepnarova was a young, lonely lesbian outsider from a cold-hearted family who couldn’t play the part society desired of her. Her paranoid self-examination and inability to connect with other people eventually drove her over the edge of humanity when she was only twenty-two years old.
Austere, meticulously composed and shot in light-infused black-and-white I, Olga Hepnarova looks at the life of the last woman to be hanged in the former Czechoslovakia in 1975, at the age of 22. Up-and-coming Polish actress Michalina Olszanska gives a powerful and committed performance.
