SYNOPSIS

Warsaw is ruled by populist bankers and pato-developers. Delivery robots roaming the streets and free-roaming peacocks have become symbols of their power. After being evicted from her home, Marta (35) camps out in her car. She befriends Kwasek (41), a disabled homeless man with high business ambitions. Shortly after losing her job, she becomes involved in his business idea – starting a bizarre pornographic channel. Suddenly, Kwasek disappears. Marta conducts an amateur investigation, during which she uncovers a dark secret of the Warsaw elite. The film explores themes of survival, friendship, and rebellion, while also revealing the absurdity of contemporary social relations.
