The Only Way

An absurd comedy inspired by George Perec’s novel “A Man Asleep” and “Bartleby, the Scrivener”, a short story by Herman Melville. Adam, a young man living with his mother, hasn’t left his apartment in years. After his mother’s death, Adam’s own life is being turned upside down. Since he’s not able to function properly without motherly concern and service, Adam decides to take his friend’s, the postman’s, advice and rent out his mother’s old room to a girl, who’ll take care of him.

Directed by Piotr Domalewski, The Only Way leans on a strong ensemble — Filip Pławiak, Filip Perkowski, Anna Próchniak — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2014.
