A film adaptation of Edward Redliński’s drama. Six Poles, dreaming of quick careers and fast money face the ruthless reality of poverty after they arrive in New York. They live in isolation, ignorant of American norms and of the English language. Each of them has a different story to tell. Some of them send video tapes to their families back in Poland showing off their alleged successes. Others try to make money illegally. The drama takes place during the three Sundays before Christmas. On Christmas eve, the characters’ lives will be changed, though. An ironical commentary on the “American dream”, watched by nearly half a million Poles. |
