MY STRANGE ELDER BROTHER

MÓJ DZIWNY STARSZY BRAT

A movie about a specific relationship between a young woman who really wants to succeed in her working life and her eccentric brother. They are complete opposites. She is a workaholic and despite the fact that this way of live doesn’t make her happy, she believes that this is the only right way. Her brother and his original behaviour really makes her crazy and also is the cause of many uncomfortable situations in her workplace. He really wants to persuade her to change her life, but she has enough of his importunity and feels ashamed. Unfortunately, after one of the many arguments they break off their contacts with each other.
