SPI INTERNATIONAL POLAND
is happy to inform you that
THE WEDDING aka MY BIG POLISH WEDDING,
which opened 10 days ago, has been seen by more than 50.000 viewers !
The movie has been successfully presented at international festivals in
Locarno, Sarajevo and Pusan.
The international sales are held by SPI INTERNATIONAL POLAND.
The WEDDING
Black comedy about love and money. Or rather the love for money....
She was beautiful and young. He loved her dearly. The wedding cake was
as sweet as ever and the wedding gift made the guests gape in jealousy.
Everything was as planned which didn't come as a surprise since HE was the
man here. The loving father of the bride, the future beloved father-in-law.
And the plan was simple: the wedding of HIS daughter was to be remembered.
Or so it seemed as in the evening it turned out that she wasn't that
innocent, he wasn't that much in love and the father didn't pay for
everything.
Director Wojtek Smarzowski
Cast Bartek Topa, Maciej Stuhr, Paweł Wilczak, Iwona
Bielska
Running time 109'
Should you be interested in learning more about the movie, we will be
