Comedy

Tadeusz Krzakoski (Krzysztof Kowalewski), the director of a failing state-owned company, is married with problems. His mistress, the daughter of a Communist party bigwig, says she's pregnant and Tadeusz knows he'll have to marry her to save his reputation and his job. But divorce is never simple and Bareja's screwball comedies are never boring.

VIBE

A dizzying, laugh-out-loud romp through the absurdities of bureaucracy and personal entanglements. Expect rapid-fire jokes, escalating chaos, and a delightfully unhinged energy that skewers societal norms with gleeful abandon.
