No pun intended - fresh love is always something ... amazing. For most involved - you can see that some have issues with our lovebirds and their ... well behaviour. That being said, if there is an age difference, there may be problems and issues later on.
And as they grow with each other, they also grow apart. One of the directors of the 365 days franchise is responsible for this one. And while it is not as far out as the sex scenes in that franchise, you can see they do not mind to show us some skin ... well more than just some.
I did not google how old the female main actress was when they shot this, but I am certain she was an adult and not a minor. Would be surprised to say the least if that was the case. But thought I'd mention it, if that makes you feel uncomfortable in a love story - or drama I guess. Which would be more apt and precise to what we get served here.
The movie builds up nicely - and the road it takes makes more than a bit of sense. Question is, if you are willing to suspend your disbelief and even are interested in that love story at all ... or drama. Again, it is quite dramatic ...

Plot summary
Narrated by scenes of interrogation and investigation, 'Big Love' follows the fatal story of the naïve 16-year old Emilia and her poisonous addiction to Maciej, a biochemist seven years her senior. After a sensual first-time encounter, Emilia and Maciej are completely engrossed in each other, the former perhaps more than the latter. As the years progress, the dream of an untroubled love fade while Emilia's innocence and purity is stained with the leftovers of her relationship to Maciej. Tired and lost, Emilia ultimately finds an outlet for the untamable love.

Interesting drama
An interesting drama from Poland.
Covers a few themes. On the surface it is a love story that develops into a more violent relationship. Here we get the classic "he abuses her and attacks her friends but she keeps going back to him" scenario. Here it doesn't seem so unoriginal, and is almost explainable. Towards the end there are elements of depression and co-dependency.
As the movie unfolds you can sense the darkness descending, as the seemingly loving man becomes more and more violent. An interesting and often scary transition.
Not great though. There is a degree of predictability to it. Some scenes feel unnecessary. Plus, by jumping back and forth in time the director gives away a lot of the ending.
Performances are so-so.
