|ENG| Poland and Krakow in a distorting mirror, with no concessions. This is a satire on “true” patriots – heroes, the unexplained catastrophe and the city choking on smog. Political references are hidden in situation jokes. This animation spares no one and touches upon controversial topics. The aim is not just to set the cat among the pigeons, but also to show that we usually blame others for our own mistakes and omissions, even if others come from space.
|PL| Polska i Kraków w krzywym zwierciadle, bez taryfy ulgowej. To satyra na „prawdziwych” patriotów-bohaterów, niewyjaśnioną katastrofę i miasto duszące się od smogu. Polityczne odniesienia ukryte są w sytuacyjnych żartach. Animacja nie oszczędza nikogo i nie boi się poruszać kontrowersyjnych tematów. To jednak nie tylko wkładanie kija w mrowisko, ale także pokazanie, że winy za nasze błędy i niedopatrzenia zazwyczaj szukamy u innych. Choćby ci byli z kosmosu…
