Summary:
Córki dancingu: Follow a pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters drawn ashore to explore life on land in an alternate 1980s Poland. Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly auras make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers in the half-glam, half-decrepit world of Smoczyńskas imagining. The director gives fierce teeth to her viscerally sensual, darkly feminist twist on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid", in which the girls' bond is tested and their survival threatened after one sister falls for a human.

Aria diva: In this short film, directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska in 2007 while she was a student at the Wajda School in Warsaw, a housewife falls under the spell of her new upstairs neighbor, an opera diva.

Viva Maria: A short documentary, directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska in 2010 while she was a film student at the Wajda School in Warsaw, devoted to Maria Fołtyn, eminent Polish opera singer and director and founder of the Moniuszko Music Lovers Society, with music from the opera Halka by Stanislaw Moniuszko. Today, when Fołtyn is losing her voice and past her prime, she focuses on didactic work, educating her successor, a symbolic story of handing over the voice.
