The Promised Land

The television version of "The Promised Land" premiered on May 21, 1978, three years after the cinematic success of the film with the same director and cast.

The film is a faithful adaptation of Władysław Reymont's novel, vividly and dramatically depicting the social transformations associated with the rapid development of Łódź in the 19th century. The series consists of 4 episodes, each lasting 50 minutes.
