Plot summary
Long before the events of the Our Folks trilogy, Kazimierz Pawlak and Wladyslaw Kargul lived side by side in a village in Podolia. The quarrel that made the pair famous was already running there, and the neighbourhood was every bit as explosive.
Made as a prequel to the cult favourite Polish comedies, it goes back to the two young men, their families and the people who had to live alongside them, before any of them ended up in the Recovered Territories.
Artur Zmijewski directs from a screenplay by Andrzej Mularczyk for CK Dezerterzy with the Polish Film Institute. Adam Bobik plays Pawlak and Karol Dziuba plays Kargul, with Weronika Humaj as Mania Ziebicka, Anna Dymna as Pecynicha, Adam Ferency as Pecyn, Miroslaw Baka as Stanislaw Ziebicki and Zbigniew Zamachowski as Kacper Pawlak. The Polish language comedy runs 118 minutes.
