The Great Give-Away (1993)

Genre : Comedy, Crime

Runtime : 1H 38M

Director : Jan Łomnicki

Synopsis

Partly thriller, partly dark comedy, the tagline of this film announce that any resemblance to real-life characters and situations were completely intentional. This had the audience guessing who the main characters were supposed to represent: those biznismeni and post-socialist yuppies who after 1989 teamed up with their former enemies to exploit Poland ruthlessly.
