“The film which make Poland stagger.”

DramaRomance

Jerzy is a writer and a heavy drinker. We meet him at the point when he believes that he can beat his addiction. He falls in love with a young girl and finally feels that he has got the person and the reason to live for. But soon he yields to his addiction.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching descent into the grip of addiction. It's a harrowing character study that explores the desperate fight for sobriety, the allure of self-destruction, and the fleeting hope of love amidst the darkness.
