Based on a real story, Papusha tells the dramatic tale of the frst Gypsy poet. She was the frst to write down her poems and the frst to have her work translated into Polish and offcially published. This was all possible thanks to the efforts of two men: Jerzy Ficowski, poet and researcher into the lives of the Polish Roma community, and poet Julian Tuwim.

Oparta na faktach dramatyczna historia pierwszej romskiej - cygańskiej - poetki, kobiety świadomej swojego autorskiego głosu. Pierwszej, która zapisała swoje wiersze oraz pierwszej tłumaczonej na polski i wydanej w oficjalnym obiegu - dzięki zachwytowi i staraniom samego Tuwima. Wiersze Papuszy trwale wzbogaciły polską kulturę o wgląd w cygańską "duszę".
Papusha received the Special Jury Prize at the 33rd Istanbul International Film Festival. The jury statement regarding the award for Papusha reads as follows: "We found the voice of this film out of the ordinary: loving but respectful, resisting the anecdotal, sometimes even distant and just observant, as required by such a sensitive topic - a gipsy woman poet who gets condemned by the very community the memories of which she tries to preserve." The film has previously received Special Mention of the Main Competition Jury at the 48th Karlovy Vary IFF, two top prizes: for Best Foreign Film and Best Foreign Director at the 12th Pune IFF in India, and the audience award at the 54th Thessaloniki IFF. At the 34th Manaki Brothers IFF in Macedonia, Wojciech Staroń and Krzysztof Ptak received the award for Best Photography. Papusza also received three awards at the 58th Valladolid IFF in Spain: Best Director, Award of the Youth Jury, and the award for Best Actor for Zbigniew Waleryś as Papusza's husband Dionizy Wajs.
