The movie follows musicians led by Tymon Tymański, navigating the absurd reality of post-transformation Poland, full of kitsch and contradictions. In 1997, as the band Kury, they recorded the legendary album P.O.L.O.V.I.R.U.S.
The movie follows musicians led by Tymon Tymański, navigating the absurd reality of post-transformation Poland, full of kitsch and contradictions. In 1997, as the band Kury, they recorded the legendary album P.O.L.O.V.I.R.U.S., a satirical take on 90s Poland—capitalism, show business, and a disco polo-dominated scene. Balancing parody and social commentary, this musical experiment became a defining postcard of the era. Twenty-five years later, its relevance endures as the band reunites to play it live, once again confronting the question: what are success and creative freedom?
