Overview

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 44 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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A darkly comic descent into the mind of a man utterly trapped by his own contempt, for others, for himself, and for the unbearable minutes that keep accumulating. It's a bitter mirror held up to everyday misanthropy and the paralysis of self-loathing.
