A blockbuster comedy for fans of slice-of-life satire, "The Cruise" and films in the vein of Stanisław Bareja's cinema.
Deeply absurd yet at the same time thoroughly realistic and universal, the film mocks bureaucracy, nonsensical regulations and omnipresent incompetence.
The cast includes a number of great actors appearing in supporting roles: Edward Dziewoński, Bogumił Kobiela, Jan Kobuszewski, Ryszarda Hanin, Wiesław Gołas, Wojciech Pokora, Magdalena Zawadzka, Kazimierz Opaliński and many others. A large part of the cast were also members of the legendary cabaret act Kabaret Dudek.
A full-length version of "Nowy pracownik", Jerzy Ziarnik's short film from three years back commissioned by the Central Board of Trade Unions.
A story of a candidate for a factory worker and the numerous bureaucratic obstacles he has to face to get his dream job.
Young turner Henryk Suchocki arrives in Warsaw. His dream is to work in a big factory. He quickly finds a factory looking for skilled workers, but the seemingly simple matter becomes seriously complicated. In order to get his dream job, the main character has to meet tens of different administrative requirements: produce the necessary certificates and referrals, undergo training and a medical exam, contact people working in different departments... Henryk's struggle with the bureaucratic machine abounds in absurd situations and characters.
