A bitter-sweet comedy set in an ironic dystopia of socialism. The basement of a Research Institute hides a mysterious land of dwarfs called Szuflandia. Each citizen of this strange, closed world made out of drawers, files and other attributes of office reality has a special task to fulfill and very few rights. There is a legend that there is a world outside - where so-called "people" live. The only way to get there is by drinking an elixir called King Size, which can be found in a Polish imitation of Coca-Cola. A scientist discovers this by accident and travels to the world of humans. He is followed by agents from Szuflandia who do not want their secret to be disclosed. The scientist meets a female fashion designer, whose father used to be a dwarf. He knew the secret and was turned into a rabbit in revenge. The characters help him to regain human form, the scientist goes back to Szuflandia and everything seems to be fine. But as they are traveling by train, they notice a huge child's face looking at them. |
