As he takes care of his infant niece, Filip wants to remain free, yet he rebels at the thought of giving his niece over to strangers due to his own childhood trauma. To care for her, he must face his weaknesses, failures, and societal prejudice. Proud is created and directed by Karol Klementewicz. The series is written by Klementewicz and Monika Pęcikiewicz and is produced for HBO Max by TVN Warner Bros. Discovery in collaboration with Magnolia Films.
