BASIA FROM PODLACHIA

BASIA Z PODLASIA

A bitter comedy of manners with a bit of a love story. Dutchman Evert is fascinated by the romantic image of Polish women created by the Internet. Therefore, he decides to find a wife in Poland. One way to find the right candidate is… having a casting. Dembski shows in a satirical way differences in perceiving the contemporary world by people from Eastern and Western Europe. The absurdity of everyday life, which we don’t want to see, with every moment shows more and more in this story about the meeting of different sensibilities.
