blok.pl

The residents of a grim 1970s apartment building - the owner of a neighborhood bar and his daughter, who works at the post office, a stockman of fairground junk, a maiden who dreams of becoming a model and winning the affections of the local handsome man, a lonely woman living among rubber dolls, a computer geek, five tracksuiters who spend their time between the gym and aggression towards the weak - try to reconcile in their daily lives the remnants of the People's Republic of Poland with new behavior patterns, gadgets and devices.

Directed by Marek Bukowski, blok.pl leans on a strong ensemble — Jerzy Łapiński, Sylwia Bojarska, January Brunov — 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 2001.
