context

The film takes place against the backdrop of the catastrophic economic situation in Poland. Everyone tried to get their daily needs in all possible ways. In addition, the militia was omnipresent and is portrayed as a completely idiot chaos troop, which was very brave. A few months after the film premiered, the situation in Poland worsened. It was the martial law imposed.

Audience reaction

The film belongs to the list of the most successful Polish films and continues to enjoy great popularity. The many grotesque everyday scenes amuse old and young, e.g. For example, when the passengers returning to Poland are weighed at the customs control and have problems if they have lost their weight abroad, or when a hare is not available during filming for a hunting scene and the cat used instead promptly climbs a tree. Many of the sayings from the film were adopted in everyday language: "It mustn't just be that 2 kg comrade stays in Great Britain!", "The rabbit should stop moaning!" etc.
