Bajland

A black political comedy, which, as a backdrop, uses the election race and the accompanying chaos in the media. The film's protagonist is a presidential candidate in the 2000 elections in Poland who suddenly withdraws from the election campaign despite his best ratings. During the election battle, he portrays himself as a professional liar and decides to give away everything he has previously won. What he doesn't expect, however, is how difficult a problem giving can be.

Directed by Henryk Dederko, Bajland leans on a strong ensemble — Wojciech Pszoniak, Olaf Lubaszenko, Magda Teresa Wójcik — 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 2000.
