Teenager Klara and her friends are eagerly awaiting Easter and a wild water fight that celebrates the arrival of spring. For Klara, however, the fun holiday marks a year since a painful experience. When Klara, tormented by shame, suddenly starts having nightmares and develops a strange fear of water, she and her new friend Diana set out to heal her repressed trauma. Wet Monday is a magical tale about adolescence and the healing power of empathy, set against the colourful backdrop of Polish Easter traditions.
