Marta Balaga Polish-born Dagmara Domińczyk, who stars in “Succession” as Karolina Novotney, the head of PR for Waystar Royco, embraces her Eastern European heritage in the upcoming animation “My Love Affair With Marriage.” Directed by Signe Baumane, also behind 2014’s “Rocks in My Pockets,” the film – inspired by Baumane’s turbulent past relationships – will premiere at Tribeca and Annecy.New Europe Film Sales is handling sales at the Cannes Market, alongside Un Certain Regard title “Godland,” Berlinale premieres “Beautiful Beings” and “A Piece of Sky,” as well as two other animations, “The Peasants” and “Yuku and the Himalayan Flower.” The actor, who voices main character Zelma, torn between traditional views on marriage, a women’s role and her own happiness, felt “an instant connection” with the Latvian animator.“We understood each other.

We both come from the Eastern Bloc – it’s something we have in our genes, in our DNA. For Signe, it was important to find someone with similar roots and intimate knowledge of this world and this culture,” says Domińczyk.“Also, my love for acting started with me reading out loud in English to practice my accent.

In a way, it was like going back to how it all started for me.”Despite the film’s autobiographical, highly personal elements, she never intended to mimic Baumane, instead trying to embrace the “warped, bizarre, beautiful fairytale” aspect of the story.

Michele Pawk and Matthew Modine are also in the cast.“Signe really wanted it to be lyrical. She allowed me to create my own Zelma,” she adds.“She is so fucking brave to reveal and unpack all these things about love and marriage that are ugly and strange, and complicated.
