It is a bitter story about a middle-aged man, who hates his life and other people, including himself. Adam Miauczynski, the character known from director Marek Koterski's previous films, is a 49 year-old teacher, who reads poetry during school lessons and later goes home swearing and calling his neighbours' names. The worst pain for him is the next 5 minutes of living. He doesn't accept himself and even everyday contacts with others cause his aggression. Though constantly dreaming of a romantic love, he is not bold enough to make his dreams come true. The desperate Miauczynski personalizes our own fears and obsessions, which have become so visible recently.

Juliusz Słowacki’s drama “Balladyna” is one of the author’s most recognizable works. The television production was directed by Wojciech Adamczyk. The play, written in 1834, arose from a fascination with Slavic culture, and its plot was inspired by Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Macbeth.” In his interpretation, Wojciech Adamczyk eschews the ludic elements, giving the story a darker character. The conflict centers on the relationship between two strong female characters: Balladyna and Goplana. Filled with lust, crime, and blood, it’s a story that rivals the emotional depth and richness of Game of Thrones or The Witcher. The world Słowacki describes is dark and dense with passion. The exotic landscape of European pagan mythologies is combined with early Christian aesthetics. Viewers accustomed to “school-style” interpretations of the play will be surprised by the poignantly contemporary vision of human fate in an original approach.
