The Black Mercedes
Warsaw, June 1942. Aneta, the beautiful wife of a respected
barrister, Karol Holzer, is killed in suspicious circumstances. Rafał
Król, an officer of the Blue Police co-operating with the Germans, is
trying to solve the case of the mysterious murder. Suspicions multiply
as one clue after another uncover the well-hidden secrets of the
deceased and disclose an unclear connection between her husband and a
high-ranking SS officer.
The Captain (Polonica)

The Coldest Game
The beginning of the sixties. With the Cuban Missile Crisis in
full swing, American secret services kidnap an outstanding
mathematician, Joshua Mansky. The forgotten alcohol-abusing genius is to
take part in a chess duel against a Soviet master, Gawryłow, at an
international tournament at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
However, the competition only serves as a cover for a game of spies.
The Crossword

prize word made up of number-marked letters scattered all over the grid.
An older man is solving a crossword. There are all kinds of clues: some of them easy, some – not so much. One way or another, they’re all related to his life. Could this silly puzzle be something more than just a time killer?

The Exam
We’ve all been there. When you’re twenty, everyone – aunts,
teachers, neighbours, friends – keep asking you the same questions: who
do you want to be? What do you want to do? Are you in love? Bastek
knows. He wants to study Fine Arts but things are a little complicated.
The Iron Bridge
A dramatic story about three people tangled up in a love relationship. Foreman Kacper is having a love affair with the wife of his friend, Oskar, also a miner. He sends Oskar off to the most distant and dangerous parts of the pit so that he himself could meet his lover. During one such meeting there’s a rock burst at the mine. Oskar is cut off in a collapsed drift and the lovers throw themselves right in the middle of the rescue operation.
The Legions
A blockbuster about the generation of the 1914–1916 Polish Legions
which won Poland its independence. It is an epic historical spectacle
made with state-of-the-art film techniques. It shows young people who do
not hesitate to throw themselves right in the middle of the fight for
regaining independence, but also those who have just understood that
they will be able to live their dreams only in a free Poland.
The Men’s Room
Norway, 2016. A choir of twenty-five middle-aged men are supposed to open for the Black Sabbath concert. They once joked that if one of them died, they would sing together at his funeral.
