Women's Day follows the life of Halina, a casher from a supermarket chain, who dreams about making a better life for herself and her 13-year-old daughter. When she is unexpectedly promoted to store manager, she quickly finds out that the price for moving up in life is to take part in the exploitation of her former colleagues. In addition she gets involved with her married boss and loses track of her daughter, who starts to fail at school and hangs out with the wrong crowd. When one of her firends has a miscarriage due to work overload, Halina is fired and decides to take her employer to court and gain back the trust of the women working at the store.

In addition to directing, Sadowska is producer as well as an accomplished Polish singer and song writer who started her musical career when she was 14. She made her film debut with Non Stop Colour, a part of the Demakijaż project in 2010.
