First-time writer-director Piotr Trzaskalski takes this slight celebration of the ordinary and makes it life-affirming.
March 8, 2004 | Rating: 3/4
When you mix social commentary about the Polish underclass with a Buddhist parable and gangster comedy, chances are that your message is going to get a little confused.
