Mariola Wafelek, an employee at a Warsaw garage from the provinces, dreams of an acting career in Hollywood, while her companion, Piotrek, aspires to become a cinematographer. In their challenging daily lives, filled with absurd and comedic situations, they strive to pursue their dreams, encountering both failures and unexpected opportunities along the way. Piwowarski’s film blends a bittersweet tone, a fairy-tale atmosphere, and a tribute to classic Hollywood, showing that even those from provincial Poland can reach for their dreams.
