What Will You Do When You Catch Me?
Stanisław Bareja
1978, 1 h 39 minA satirical comedy of manners targeted against the absurdities of social, family and professional life in the reality of the Polish People’s Republic. The adventures of director Krzakoski who tries to save his endangered position in a large company through an advantageous marriage. His bride-to-be is Danusia who is expecting his child and who is the daughter of a senior official. The director intends to take advantage of the situation, only… he needs to split with his own wife first.
The screenwriters adorned this loosely outlined plot with many funny scenes and jokes taking place among lazy labourers, talkative taxi drivers, people queuing in a shop and other bit characters. At every step people meander inside a specific world of real socialism and the appearances of a social life. The film is one of the best and most popular Polish comedies.
