Adaś Miauczyński is a frustrated intellectual in the post-socialist era. The poorly paid teacher hates school and students. He lives in a neighborhood that's driving him crazy. He hates waking up. He's afraid of each new day and of contact with the outside world and his ex-wife and beloved son. As a Polish patriot he's offended by the skirmishes in parliament he follows on TV. High ideals are spiritual food for him, everyday ordinariness is killing him. Pervasive and vulgar advertising enrages him. He takes pills to better his physical and intellectual state. His permanent discontent is vented in near violent behavior. He's used to speaking to himself and monologues richly sprinkled with the word "fuck". He movingly illustrates both the portrait and steep mental decline of the degraded intellectual of our time. (Zlín Film Festival)
