Roly Poly

A racing duo, the Fox brothers, have a serious accident. A complicated transplant is the only way to save them. Despite the success, this new medical technology turns out to be a nuisance for the patient. Especially if repeated after the next couple of car crashes. Roly Poly is probably the biggest achievement of Polish fantasy film. The crew of masters (Wajda, Zdort and Lem, the author of the screenplay!) blended with an outstanding cast (Bogumił Kobiela playing the lead role) into a truly explosive mixture. Stanisław Lem regarded this surprising, almost campy, film directed by the Polish master as the best adaptation of his prose.
