About

During the Nazi occupation of Poland, an acting troupe becomes embroiled in a Polish soldier's efforts to track down a German spy.
A whirlwind of comedic timing and frantic energy radiates from the leading lady as she navigates the absurd perils of occupied Poland. This sharp satire proves that laughter can be just as subversive as any political resistance.
