Reverse, based on a screenplay written by Andrzej Bart, is not a dark story about the times of oppression but well-nigh a pastiche thriller in the style of film noir. First the main character kills her lover (and the father of her baby), and then, to make her revenge complete, raises the boy in total contradiction to his father's ideals. All this is set in the 1950s at the peak of Stalinist terror, and the paradox of the situation shown on screen is mixed up with the tragedy of the events the authors hint at - the somber reality of the times.

Borys Lankosz (born 31 March 1973 in Cracow) Polish film director. He graduated from National Film School in Łódź. His debut film Evolution (2001) received several awards, i.a. the Golden Gate Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival. He is the creator of the documentary series From a Different Angle, filmed in Iran, China and Zimbabwe, and the films Kurc and Poles Poles (with Wislawa Szymborska, Stanislaw Lem, Krzysztof Penderecki).

His feature debut titled Rewers (Reverse) won first prize, the Golden Lion, on Polish Film Festival in 2009 in Gdynia. Lankosz is also a director and screenwriter of several documentary and short films: Radegast (documentary film), Alien VI (short).
