King Size is a Polish comedy film from 1988.
action
In the underground of a Warsaw office, the dwarves live in the country Szuflandia (land of drawers). They are poor and are oppressed by those in power. The despot Kilkujadek keeps the dwarves in forced labor. They use the drawers of card index boxes as apartments. But this world is not the only world in which the dwarfs live. With the King Size trunk they can grow to normal human size. So some are able to lead normal lives and relate to women, since only men are dwarfs. Once you have consumed the miracle drink, you have to drink a lot of polo cockta. Polo Cockta is a Coca-Cola - imitation produced in the 1970s and 1980s in Poland. These polo cockta drinkers are the enemies of the Kilkujadek system because they are beyond its control. One of those polo cockta drinkers is the journalist Olo Jedlina. Olo lives a normal life with his girlfriend Ewa when his dwarf friend Adaś Haps, who is working on the recipe for King Size, is hunted by Kilkujadek's agents. Adaś is captured and sentenced to forced labor in the dwarf country. Olo initially loses track, but is led back on his trail by the exciting Ala. Ala is the daughter of a former dwarf. Through her he comes into contact with the dwarf oppositions Kwintek and Kramerek and pushes into the interior of Szuflandia. After an exciting chase, he was finally able to save Adaś with an egg cutter shortly before his execution .
