He marries a younger, beautiful "girl from nowhere" despite the indignation of his colleagues. Blinded by love, he doesn't suspect that his controversial relationship is not accidental. His new wife is secretly involved with a government agent and informs on her husband under the code name is "Little Rose." The co-operation with the agent turns into passion, but she realizes that she is just a tool in a political game. 

"Little Rose is not a film about Jasienica, but about the methods of infiltration and the repression of the creative circles at the end of the 1960's. The title of the film brings attention to the female agent, not the writer. This was what intrigued us about the topic. Despite the whole historic background, Little Rose is a story about love, passion and the price one is ready to pay for them. The title character decides to co-operate with the secret service not because she wants to serve the communist system, but to please the man she loves, who turns out to be an agent," Kidawa- Błoński said of the film. 

Kidawa-Błoński is an accomplished Polish director and film producer. Between 1982 and 1991 he was a member of the Silesia Film Company, and after it disbanded he joined the OKO and Zodiak companies.  From 1990 and 1994 he was the chariman of the Polish Filmmakers Association (www.sfp.org.pl).
