Abstrakt

The first Polish film taking up the problem of cross-dressing was a comedy from 1934, titled Is Lucyna a Girl? Czy Lucyna to dziewczyna? by Juliusz Gardan. In the history of Polish cinema there were a few more films about transgender/transvestism. The paper describes these films and indicates what type of socio-moral influence changes the way of showing this type of characters and themes.
