Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of medical drama and animal lovers. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. If you loved The Truman Show or Code 3, start here. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Darkly funny.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 57 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Jerzy and Artur’s father dies, leaving behind a valuable stamp collection, which, they discover, is coveted by dealers of varying degrees of shadiness. The more involved the brothers get in their father’s world, the more dire and comical their situation becomes.
