Director: Radosław Drabik, Michał Chaciński
A marriage that ended twenty years ago still won't let go of the paperwork in Divorce, a 2024 Polish comedy-drama about two exes who discover that undoing a brief union takes far more effort than the wedding ever did.
What is Divorce about?
Two decades after they went their separate ways, a former couple reunites for an unglamorous reason: getting an official court declaration that their short-lived marriage was never valid in the first place. What should be a quick bureaucratic errand drags both of them back through old grievances, unfinished conversations, and the awkward realization that time apart hasn't resolved much between them. The film treats the process as a comic obstacle course, with each new form and hearing peeling back another layer of their shared history. Along the way, family members and new partners get pulled into the mess, complicating what either of them expected to be a clean, quiet fix.
Cast & crew
Magdalena Popławska and Wojciech Mecwaldowski lead as the estranged pair, with Oliwia Drabik, Tomasz Schuchardt, and Michalina Łabacz rounding out the ensemble under the direction of Radosław Drabik and Michał Chaciński.
Context & significance
Divorce arrived in 2024 as a Polish production blending Drama and Comedy, running 91 minutes and holding a 5.8 rating on IMDb. It sits in a lineage of relationship comedies that mine legal and family bureaucracy for laughs rather than melodrama, using an annulment request as the engine for a story about how much unfinished business can survive twenty years of silence.
