The Closed Circuit
The film is set in the Tricity in 2003, ten years after the end of communism in Poland. The plot, apparently based on the real-life experiences of Kraków businessmen Lech Jerzorny and Paweł Rey, is about three young, talented businessmen who open a high-tech factory. This comes to the attention of the local state ‘mafia’, the local Prosecutor, played by Janusz Gajos, and tax office boss, played by Kasimierz Kaczor, who are both jealous and would like to make money for themselves. We are in Poland, so success must be punished.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Ryszard Bugajski constructs a chilling narrative that relies on the stark contrast between the entrepreneurs' modern world and the officials' oppressive system. He explores how legal machinery can be weaponized against ambition and success.
What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of institutional claustrophobia—the feeling that the system itself is the ultimate crime. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ryszard Bugajski
