Ewa steals 6-year-old Ania, and Majka steals Ania back again. Then Ewa attempts to retrieve Ania again. <br /><br />I look at it that Majka could potentially raise Ania, but Majka doesn't have the tools to be a good mother, because Ewa was a bad example during Majka's childhoood.<br />Kieslowski appears to be saying that Ewa stole love from Majka's childhood. Maybe Ewa neglected Majka as a child, because Ewa was too busy with her career as headmistress.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-75175426242137723102013-08-21T15:54:36.349-07:002013-08-21T15:54:36.349-07:00Another favorite of mine in the series, what I lov...Another favorite of mine in the series, what I loved about this one is that it plays into the idea of theft. Who is the real thief? I can understand Majka trying to reclaim her role as a mother but she's not mature enough to raise her own child. There's a lot of things that makes it ambiguous where there's no answer that is very simple.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-57698753114279376502012-10-09T04:37:49.810-07:002012-10-09T04:37:49.810-07:00@Josh: Thanks!

Even though it's not as memorable as most of the previous episodes, it's still a fascinating piece of the puzzle though.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.com
