Beloved Polish actor Jerzy Stuhr (The Decalogue, Kingsize, Big Animal) directs and stars in this award-winning tale of hapless lawyer Adam Borowski who leads an impeccable professional life but a chaotic personal one.

Though highly respected for prosecuting everything from child endangerment to racially motivated attacks, Adam fails to take care of his mounting personal chaos-a sick mother, a relentless taxman hot on his trail, and a demanding mistress.

Carrying on in the tradition of his mentor, director Krzysztof Kieslowski (The Decalogue, Three Colours), Stuhr has crafted a morality tale of human frailty and suffering.
