"Knife In the Wife" is a documentary impression portraying the life of the provincial Arizona Circus. The culminating point of their show is the throwing of knives. For over fifteen years the circus owner and his son have been throwing them at their wives. The world of this six-person circus troop, though it gives the impression of the grotesque, is frequented by sorrow. Despite the fact that their show isn't the highest of arts, the magic of the circus fascinates the young viewers.

She studied Cinematography, Directing and Art Photography at the Krzysztof Kieslowski Faculty of Radio and Television at the University of Silesia in Katowice. She works as cinematographer for documentaries, short and feature films and commercials. Knife in the wife is her first original documentary.
