Finally, Feliks agrees to tell themif Ida promises that they will leave the Skibas alone and give up any claim to the house. Feliks takes the women to the burial place in the woods and digs up the bones of their family. He admits to Ida that he took the three into the woods and killed them. Feliks says that because Ida was very small and able to pass for a Christian, he was able to give her to a convent. But Wandas small son was dark and circumcised. He couldnt pass for a Christian child, and Feliks had killed him along with Idas parents. Jeremy Hicks describes some of the possible motivations for Feliks murders The implication is that he killed them for fear that he and his family might be discovered by the Nazis to be hiding Jews, and themselves be killed. But there is so much left unsaid here that the motivations for murder are left obscure. Watch Open Season: Scared Silly Online Hollywoodreporter here. An understanding of Polish wartime history might equally push us towards explaining the murder through Polish anti Semitism. The perception that Jews had money, or at least property, and that killing them would enable the murderers to acquire their property, is a motive that is hinted at too. Wanda and Ida take the bones to their family burial plot, in an abandoned, overgrown Jewish cemetery in Lublin, and bury them. Wanda and Ida then part ways and return to their previous existences and routines, but they both have been profoundly affected by their experience, and nothing is the same. Although Wanda continues to drink and engage in apparently meaningless casual sex, she is also now mourning not only the loss of her son and sister, but the niece whom she has just met and who reminds her deeply of her sister. Ida returns to the convent but is visibly unenthusiastic about her life there, and even sees some of it with a new perspective of humor. Wandas melancholy deepens and she ultimately jumps to her death out of her apartment window. Ida returns to attend Wandas funeral, where she sees Lis again. At Wandas apartment, Ida changes out of her nuns habit and into Wandas stilettos and evening gown, tries smoking and drinking, and then goes to Lis gig, where he later teaches her to dance. After the show Ida and Lis sleep together. The next morning Lis suggests they get married, have children, and after that, live life as usual. After sleeping with him one more time, Ida quietly arises without awakening Lis, dons her convent habit again and leaves. Productionedit.

Pawlikowski then translated the screenplay into Polish and further adapted it for filming. The character of Wanda Gruz is based on Helena Woliska Brus, although Wandas life and fate differ significantly from the real life model.
