Understanding the new, post-communist world is difficult for a former Solidarity activist: he suddenly is thrust into it after leaving the monastery where he'd been hiding since 1980s. His wife and children have already succumbed to all the temptations of the modern era. One of the best Polish crazy comedies shows the reality of Central Europe at the turn of the millennium in the worst possible light. The film's quality stems from excellent cast, starring the director, scriptwriter and the main character, Jerzy Stuhr. His son, Maciej Stuhr, and his now frequently cast Roma Gasirowska gained their first experience in feature film in this comedy. (Febiofest)

A bitter tragicomedy about a man who lacked greater adaptability to attain happiness, but also the energy and courage to confront the injustices of our world, and so his life attitude became escapism. During the communist period, he decides to seek asylum in a monastery, and when fate brings him back to the world outside the monastery walls years later, he finds that while the government has changed, the people who continue to remain morally on edge have not. Despite sincere efforts to reintegrate and rebuild broken bonds with his family, he ultimately chooses to escape again into the asylum of the microcosm of a religious sect. It's not a bad movie, but from the creator of the format, Jerzy Stuhr, I would have expected more developed characters and more intense conflicts. Perhaps even more black humor. In many cases, the characters are merely outlined and do not undergo any development. It needed more work on the screenplay and the quality of the dialogue. Overall impression: 65%.
