There are barely few Polish comedies which are worth watching all the time. This is one of them. Actually this is the best of them. The description of the main plot you can read in many other reviews posted here. However this movie despite what you can directly see or hear has a second bottom. This second bottom can be understood only by the people which were living in communistic regime: Hungary, Czech, Slovakia, Lithuania and others but as far as I can tell that list excludes strangely Russia, which can be told by the reviews posted here. Anyhow how this movie came through our censorship in the 80s (Poland was still communistic at that time) remains a mystery to me. That shows only the the censors were idiots and the director with the producer did outstanding job (impossible job) to convince the censors. Unbelievable. I was 6 when this movie was shown in the cinemas around. However my mum told me that everyone clapped their hands in the cinema after the show. And that was just a regular show with no celebrities invited. That shows the genius of the movie: to tell the story without actually telling the story. Showing something and describing by the way something completely different. Outstanding and worth seeing. Even if you do not understand this second bottom the movie is worth seeing because it is one of the best example of how the real polish comedy shall look like.
