Summary of the Plot

Nawojka is 20-year-old girl who works on the family’s remote farm. The life she leads is difficult and limited: her parents and brothers depend on her work, while her hopes (including going to the vet’s school) are hindered by traditions and the expectations of her family.

Since childhood There’s a story behind her: the mother of her child died in mysterious and troubled circumstances. The community and family believe that they have a curse, or hereditary disorder that is linked to supernatural trance episodes or powers the mother was born with. Nawojka starts to exhibit indications of similar experiences, like visions or strange behaviour, as well as abilities or desires she does not completely comprehend.

Sandra an outspoken city snob returned to town and her return awakens a Will Be Done part within Nawojka. The connection (drawn through tension, love as well as fascination) that develops between Nawojka and Sandra is a trigger. In the meantime, animal illness or bizarre events in the community increase: cows suffering from illness symptoms, mysterious deaths, etc. IONCINEMA.com+1

The more things get going as the story progresses, it moves towards terrifying Will Be Done territory of the supernatural, perhaps the possession of rituals, anxiety, and the confrontation with Nawojka’s need to escape and the weight of her inherited curses, religional superstitions, the patriarchal sway.

Controversy & Criticism

Cinematography and Style

Visual style: Earthy, rough, rustic textures. Cinematographer Simon Beaufils uses visuals Will Be Done that are reminiscent of folk horror of the 1970s with slow zooms, long-lasting images, natural decay, juxtaposition between beautiful pastoral scenes and decay. Gazettely+1
Sounds / music natural ambient sound with occasional alt-rock elements extremely lilting drone, and sudden silences, which can increase the fear. Journey Into Cinema+2IONCINEMA.com+2
Utilization of images from animals and death of livestock decay, rust and other detriments to represent metaphorical instruments. The use of symbols (medallions and rituals) can be used to represent both external and internal control. Movies We Texted About+1
The atmosphere over jump scares the film is based more on mood, dread and tension as well as anxiety and psychological tension rather than blatant gore. Rotten Tomatoes+1

Cultural Influence

This is a continuation of a growing tradition of folk-based horrors in Europe which Will Be Done deals in autonomy, gender as well as supernatural and countryside settings. It could be particularly appealing for those interested in stories of oppressive women.
A French-Polish collaboration the film could be a focal point to both Western as well as Eastern Europe and could bring the folklore, traditional values, rural culture and tensions between minorities or immigrants to the attention of a wider audience.
Queer and feminist overtones (relation to Sandra desires for autonomy) could spark Will Be Done discussion about gender, identity, sexuality, and even the supernatural within spaces that are governed by traditional values.
This could influence other film makers to create more subtle terror, in which psychological or ritual terror is emphasized over the spectacle.
As it was a part of Cannes Director’s Fortnight, it receives a high profile and critical esteem that could lead to stream / festival attention.
