Poland 2021 / 96’

He is a lover and a thief who knows how to respect women. This action comedy is inspired by actual events in the life of Zdzisław Najmrodzki, the legendary underworld celebrity, who laughed in the face of authorities in the Polish People's Republic by escaping law enforcement agencies 29 times. Women loved him and men admired him. The police set a ransom in the millions, and all of Poland followed his daring exploits. In the film Najmro robs hard-currency stores with his gang and lives colorfully in times when the available colors are mostly gray or are outright banned. Above all, he loves his freedom and to have fun. Although Najmro lives in the world of the most beautiful women, the fastest cars and a lot of money, he meets a girl for whom he wants to change his life. But will he be able to? Dawid Ogrodnik (The Last Family) played the main role, and he is partnered by Robert Więckiewicz (Clergy), Jakub Gierszał (Breaking the Limits), Rafał Zawierucha (Once upon a time... in Hollywood), Olga Bołądź (Women of Mafia) and, debuting on the big screen, Masha Wągrocka (Król TV series).
