Story

Krister (Tomas Norstrom) is a disillusioned journalist currently working as a boatbuilder on a remote island in Sweden. Unexpectedly a letter arrives inviting him to return to Poland after 25 years absence. His arrival in Warsaw and the adventures he unwittingly embarks on, lead him to new-found love and a rediscovered zest for life.
To Krister’s surprise, the old friend (Krzysztof Kolberger) who invited him to Poland is very respectable and gay – quite unlike the youth he left many years ago. Krister finds a young girlfriend (Ana Powierza), but very quickly discovers she is a rising porn star. ‘What is this New Poland?’ His friend holds many secrets and the revelations that Krister is presented with, cause him to become a reluctant kidnapper.
