Rybka Canero poster
NR

A family crime comedy by Juliusz Machulski, written especially for the Television Theater. "Fish canero" is a bit of a comedy of errors, a bit of a study of our recent behavior, and a bit of a criminal investigation full of riddles. Funny and scary at the same time. Funny and fast-paced dialogues, satirical portraits of characters, brilliant observation of customs - all this makes the author's play by Juliusz Machulski an extremely successful criminal family comedy. The play is set in the villa of Professor Stefan Vogel during a wake, which is a family celebration after his mysterious and sudden death. His son Ignacy Vogel, the owner of a publishing house, has a lot of problems on his head: firstly, he has to accommodate the late professor's guests, and secondly, his daughter Marianna - a famous TV series celebrity - is pregnant and is about to give birth.
