Fur

Black comedy about Polish “upper middle-class”. Garden party celebration of the First Communion goes way beyond the relatives of 60-year-old Henryk. Perfectly planned party turns into chaos thanks to his pedantic father-in-law, a geodesist, sister-in-law, a fan of kinky sex, son-in-law, a fetishist, deeply depressed daughter-in-law and grandchildren constructing a bomb. The last straw comes from an unexpected visit of a beautiful catechist, vengeful neighbor-militarist, and a lawnmower breakdown.
