"Songs about love" turned out to be the biggest hit of the 2021 edition of the most important festival of Polish cinema in Gdynia. Tomasz Habowski's debut is a strong, new voice of Polish cinema. Bittersweet like the best indie pop track and striking the most sensitive chords – where love meets calculation, and passion meets career. The romantic "Songs..." will surely delight fans of "Frances Ha", "Once" or "Before Sunrise".
She is a girl from a block of flats in a small town, he comes from a wealthy, well-known Warsaw family. She waitresses and sings about what is playing in her soul, he dreams of releasing an album that would rub the nose of his famous father-actor. They get to know each other when she is serving a party where he is partying. They will be united by their love for music, they will be separated by ambitions and dreams. The fragile feeling that arises between them is constantly put to the test: she is constantly running away from him, he can lie like a nut. Can two such different sounds harmonise? How many times in life is an encore possible?

Tomasz Habowski's film is also a story about a woman's struggle for independence and finding her own voice. The singer of The Dumplings, Justyna Święs, making her debut in the cinema, created a character who combines incredible talent with an equally powerful lack of self-confidence. But "Songs about love" are sung in a duet: Święs and great in the role of a lost boy Tomasz Włosok ("Corpus Christi", "How I Became a Gangster. A True Story", "Green Border", "Kulej") form an electrifying couple, between which emotions jump like sparks. Stars of the stage and screen orbit around them, including Andrzej Grabowski, Patrycja Volny, Krzysztof Zalewski, Iga "Ofelia" Krefft. The fantastic music for the film was composed by Kamil "Holden" Kryszak, who collaborated with Marcelina and the Karaś/Rogucki duo.

„Piosenki o miłości” okazały się największym przebojem ostatniego festiwalu w Gdyni. Debiut Tomasza Habowskiego to mocny, nowy głos polskiego kina. Słodko-gorzki jak najlepszy indie popowy kawałek i uderzający w najczulsze struny – tam gdzie miłość spotyka się z kalkulacją, a pasja z karierą. Romantyczne „Piosenki...” zachwycą z pewnością fanów „Frances Ha”, „Once” czy „Przed wschodem słońca”.

Ona jest dziewczyną z bloku w małym mieście, on pochodzi z zamożnej, znanej warszawskiej rodziny. Ona kelneruje i śpiewa o tym, co jej w duszy gra, on marzy o wydaniu płyty, którą utarłby nosa sławnemu ojcu-aktorowi. Poznają się, gdy ona obsługuje przyjęcie, na którym on się bawi. Połączy ich miłość do muzyki, rozdzielą ambicje i marzenia. Kruche uczucie, które rodzi się między nimi, cały czas wystawiane jest na próbę: ona wciąż przed nim ucieka, on potrafi łgać jak z nut. Czy dwa tak różne brzmienia mogą się zestroić? Ile razy w życiu możliwy jest bis?

Film Tomasza Habowskiego to także opowieść o kobiecej walce o niezależność i dochodzeniu do własnego głosu. Debiutująca w kinie wokalistka The Dumplings, Justyna Święs, wykreowała postać, która łączy niesamowity talent z równie potężnym brakiem wiary w siebie. Ale „Piosenki o miłości” śpiewane są w duecie: Święs i świetny w roli pogubionego chłopaka Tomasz Włosok („Boże Ciało”, „Jak zostałem gangsterem. Historia prawdziwa”) tworzą elektryzującą parę, między którą emocje przeskakują jak iskry. Wokół nich orbitują gwiazdy sceny i ekranu, między innymi Andrzej Grabowski, Patrycja Volny, Krzysztof Zalewski, Iga „Ofelia” Krefft. Fantastyczną muzykę do filmu skomponował Kamil „Holden” Kryszak, współpracujący z Marceliną czy duetem Karaś/Rogucki.
