The play by Wojciech Tomczyk. The topic taken up by Wojciech Tomczyk is a very hot one, dealing with the still painful settlements with the People's Republic of Poland, the problem of victims and executioners, entangled in the communist and post-communist system. A retired military counterintelligence officer is approached by a journalist. Hanka wants to get information about the colonel with whom our retiree met at the infantry school, where they studied since the fall of 1953. Stefan Kolodziej, however, has other plans. He wants to tell Hanka his biography, which is suspiciously intertwined with the journalist's life. The Colonel's confession reveals the horrifying cesspool of communism: finished people, destroyed families and careers.

Jerzy Stuhr scripted, directed and plays four roles in this Polish comedy about four men -- an army officer, a college instructor, a priest, and a drug dealer -- and their relationships with four females. An attractive student puts the teacher in an awkward spot when she reveals her love for him. An 11-year-old informs the priest that she's his daughter. The army officer is pleased when confronted by a past lover. The drug dealer, taken prisoner, must decide whether or not to trust his wife with his hidden loot. In the wrap-up, the elderly accountant passes judgment on all four men. Stuhr acted in films by the late Krzysztof Kieslowski, who had some input here by offering advice to Stuhr on this screenplay.
