Jolanta Mrotek

A feature film starring mostly the participants of the first edition of Polish "Big Brother" reality show in 2001.

While the days drag by in prison, an inmate nicknamed Lawstorant (Zbigniew Buczkowski) passes the time by planning the ultimate heist -- a foolproof plan involving a bogus warehouse and enough profit to secure his financial future. But Lawstorant's decision to hook up with the risk-taking Fragler (Michal Wisniewski), the man-eating Monika (Jolanta Mrotek) and the binge-drinking Kazio (Tomasz Sapryk) may spoil a foregone conclusion.

The film tells about mainly three people - Max, a bored, smart, poor University Professor of Philosophy; Ramzes, a mafia leader, cool, strong, merciless bully and Stella, Ramzes girlfriend.

The life of Jan Himilsbach (1931-1988) - stonemason, docker, sailor, actor, screenwriter and writer - is a collection of anecdotes on the one hand, and a string of overwhelming events on the other. As a juvenile shoemaker he was sent to a reformatory, as a railroad thief - to prison, and as a laborer - to a quarry in the God's Gift mine. The film uses interviews with Jan Himilsbach, excerpts from films featuring him, the song "Happiness, Where Are You," for which he wrote the lyrics, and autobiographical novellas set in Minsk Mazowiecki.

In Zakopane - though really anywhere in the universe - an alien civilization lands seeking help with an intimate problem and awaits their contact, Yrek. When a nosy innkeeper alerts the press upon learning their mission, journalists descend and inadvertently entangle local Polish and Czech gangsters and their tailing agents in a cosmic game of cat-and-mouse, threatening to turn the quiet mountain retreat into the scene of an interplanetary showdown.

An enigmatic commissioner joins the Warsaw Police, where her unconventional investigation methods unsettle the officers in the homicide department.
