"Zmiennicy" is a grotesque comedy of absurdity and reality that masterfully blends slapstick, satire, and surrealism to expose the absurdities of life under communist rule in the People's Republic of Poland (PRL). The story follows Jacek Żytkiewicz, a taxi driver in Warsaw, and his mysterious new shift partner, Katarzyna Piórecka, who disguises herself as a man to get the job. The series is a comedy of the grotesque, filled with exaggerated characters, nonsensical bureaucracy, and surreal plot twists. It mocks the inefficiencies and contradictions of PRL institutions—from corrupt officials and inept police to bizarre workplace dynamics and social hypocrisy. Underneath the absurdity lies a thriller-like subplot: a drug trafficking operation smuggling heroin from Thailand to West Germany. This storyline, featuring shady sports officials, a Thai student, and a crooked firefighter, adds a layer of intrigue reminiscent of American crime dramas.

1985
SeriesDramaFamily
A cheerful series about the adventures of a group of children living in the countryside, produced in a Polish-West German co-production (the pictures were taken in picturesque locations in Dąbrowa nad Czarna, as well as in sand caves near Sulejów). The biggest attraction of the area is the historic water mill, which becomes a great place for fun for an amused crowd. As is usually the case in the countryside, its equal inhabitants are - next to people - animals. No wonder the little heroes become friends with them. And so days go by together. Almost each of them brings a new, amazing and unexpected adventure. The child’s imagination makes even ordinary events take on the flavor of fairy tales and mystery.
