Screw Mickiewicz

Jan Sienkiewicz, a writer and lecturer who was expelled from university, takes a job at a Warsaw high school. Under his care comes the school's famous class of rebellious and knowledge-resistant outcasts. IIB are students from hell, and their future seems doomed. But Sienkiewicz, armed with literature, enthusiasm and a lot of unconventional ideas, will challenge the group doomed to exclusion. Will he be able to tame her and save her? A story about friendship, love, school madness and that everyone deserves another chance.

Directed by Sara Bustamante-Drozdek, Screw Mickiewicz leans on a strong ensemble — Dawid Ogrodnik, Hugo Tarres, Wiktoria Koprowska — 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 drama titles of 2024.
