Synopsis:
Teresa is a short narrative film that tells the true story of a Polish woman who could not bear to be separated from her husband, an engineer working for the Polish company Dromex, constructing a highway in Iraq in the early 1980s. She came to Iraq to meet him for the New Year's holidays to surprise him, but was involved in a horrific car accident that took her life before she could meet her beloved husband. She was buried in Iraq, and her grave became a memorial and a place of pilgrimage for lovers.
