Que ma volonté soit faite

Julia Kowalski’s hypnotic blend of folk horror and psychological drama unfolds on a remote French farm inhabited by a Polish immigrant family. The story follows Nawojka (played with raw intensity by Maria Wróbel), who labors under her father and brothers, dutifully tending both livestock and domestic chores. Haunted by a dark ancestral curse—rumored to have possessed her late mother—she harbors dreams of escaping to veterinary school. Her Will Be Done is an unsettling folk-horror that relies on mood and symbolism rather than exposition. Its journey - from oppressive farm life to trance-like liberation - is propelled by magnetic performances and haunting scenery. While the film occasionally drifts into unclear territory and may challenge viewers looking for concrete solutions, it is a fascinating exploration of autonomy, inherited trauma and the quiet, combustible power of female desire. With her powerful debut, Julia Kowalski confirms her position as a filmmaker who is not afraid to disturb: this is a film that gets under your skin and stays there - feverish, dark and unforgettable.
