Six stories about ordinary people put in extreme situations, which cause them to experience a panic attack. We experience a roller-coaster of events: a woman meets her two exes during the same night, a couple pick the worst seat on an airplane, a young girl risks having her girlfriends expose her as a porn star, a bride gives birth at her own wedding, a teenager gets stoned for the first time and a young man has to beg his weird mother to save his life’s work. A brilliant satire that cuts through society with razor-sharp humour by first-time director Paweł Maślona, world-premiered at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
