GOOD MORNING, LENIN!

An ironic documentary comedy showing Nowa Huta through the eyes of Western tourists who would like to touch the past and have a taste of communism. Packed in old Trabant cars, ready for everything, they follow in the footsteps of Man of Marble. This unconventional, but educational expedition is organized by young happeners from Kraków – the tourist company Crazy Guides.
