Comedy

To convince the prison warden against releasing him, a middle-aged Polish man recounts his life, one he considers to have been characterized by exceptionally bad luck.

VIBE

A darkly funny, existential rumination on a life defined by misfortune. It's a wry, absurdist journey through a man's perceived bad luck, delivered with a melancholic, European arthouse sensibility.
