SYNOPSIS

„"The Game of Everything" is a popular game show that Paweł (32), a claims line worker, watches daily with his grandfather, Marian (78). They share a deep, yet unhealthy bond that prevents Paweł from growing up. Everything changes when his grandfather is diagnosed with an aneurysm. A believer in astrology, he calculates the date of his death – his grandson has exactly one month to help him plan his funeral, find love, and become independent. However, nothing goes according to plan, as everything in Paweł's life falls apart – including his punk band, which is scheduled to play at Marian's final farewell. A chance for change arises when Paweł is selected to participate in "The Game of Everything.".
