A provincial town in the early 1980s. Among its residents is the Kolęda family. Mrs. Kolęda is an energetic community leader, her husband, a gentle soul, takes care of raising ducks and cultivating flowers in "tunnels" at home. Their daughter, Dorota, is a pretty and unemployed young woman. The intrigue begins when the community leader finds out that she is going to become a grandmother. Fear of losing authority, scandal, and embarrassment inspires her to come up with a truly diabolical idea - they need to buy a fiancé for Dorota with a pre-arranged divorce.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the absurdity of the everyday, relying on the contrast between public respectability and private chaos. It explores the mechanisms of hypocrisy through precise characters and dialogue that find humor in the most awkward situations.

Those who tire of polished farces will appreciate this raw, situational wit. What lingers after the final scene is a smirk at human ingenuity in self-deception. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Roman Załuski
