19th Annual Wisconsin Film Festival
presents a screenings of

WIGILIA
by Graham Drysdale

featuring Iwona Glowinska
Polish-born actress & musician based in Glasgow, UK

From the festival notes: "This charming and touching two-hander brings together two lonely souls in surprising ways on a Christmas Eve in Glasgow. Alone in Scotland for the holidays, Polish cleaner Agata (Iwona Glowinska) is trying to celebrate Wigilia, her country’s traditional Christmas feast, in an apartment whose owner is away. Before it can get started, she’s alarmed to be joined by Robbie (Duglas T. Stewart), the ne’er-do-well brother of the apartment’s owner. Since she’s made plenty of food and Wigilia always allows a spot for a wandering pilgrim to arrive, Agata and Robbie spend some time getting to know each other. A movie about two people who help each other in unexpected ways, Wigilia was written by director Graham Drysdale and his two enormously appealing main actors. It marks the feature debut for Drysdale, whose 1998 short film Lovely was a prizewinning hit at several festivals in Europe and North America. - Jim Healy."
