Synopsis

Waiting for a bus in a run-down New Jersey town, Darja—a Polish immigrant—gives her cheating boyfriend a long-deserved tongue-lashing. She’s done talking about feelings; it’s time to talk money. Over the course of three relationships spanning 22 years, Darja negotiates for her future with men who can offer her love or security, but never both. Martyna Majok’s Ironbound is a clear-eyed, compassionate portrait of a woman for whom love might not be enough.
