About Infamia
Infamia (internationally titled Infamy) is a Polish Netflix coming-of-age drama created by Anna Maliszewska and written with Dana Lukasinska and Julita Olszewska. It follows Gita Burano, a seventeen-year-old Polish Roma girl who is uprooted from a life in the United Kingdom when family elders decide the Buranos must return to a small town in Poland. There she has to find her footing between the tight-knit traditions of her community and a new world that often meets her family with prejudice.
Gita falls hard for hip-hop, and rap becomes the place where she can finally say what she feels. Writing and performing her own verses, she begins to test the expectations placed on her as a young Roma woman, navigating Romanipen, the unwritten moral code her family lives by, alongside her own hunger to be heard. Her parents, Marko and Viola Burano, love her fiercely even as they worry about what her ambitions will cost the family and its standing.
Across eight episodes the series stays warm and clear-eyed about Roma identity, refusing easy stereotypes while centering music, family loyalty, and self-discovery. It is a vibrant youth drama about who a girl is allowed to become, and about the courage it takes to honor where you come from while still writing your own verse. Led by a star-making performance from Zofia Jastrzebska, Infamia became one of Netflix Poland's most talked-about original dramas.
