"Młode wilki 1/2" to druga część historii o młodzieży, która wchodzi w życie w realiach drapieżnego kapitalizmu. Akcja toczy się w 1994 roku, kilka miesięcy przed akcją pierwszej części. "Młode wilki 1/2" nie jest filmem o przemocy i zbrodni. Jest to film o przyjaźni, lojalności i pierwszej miłości. Czasem nieporadnie, czasem ze wstydem, bohaterowie filmu odkrywają w sobie uczucia, które znali jedynie jako puste słowa Dopiero w sytuacjach ekstremalnych odkrywają ich nowy sens. Jest to także film o marzeniach i pragnieniach. Zarówno tych zwykłych, banalnych, jak szybkie samochody i ładne dziewczyny, jak i głębszych, jak chęć znalezienia swojego celu w życiu, potrzeba poznania własnej tożsamości.

An Air So Pure

An Air So Pure 1997

In the midst of WW I, a doctor and a lawyer team up to turn a ramshackle old mountain chateau into a sanatorium/health spa that caters to the afflicted from most every stratum of European society, most of whom show up with false hope in their hearts and plenty of equally false identities. Even the proprietors have a few deceptions, chief among them is the part of the resort where they provide shelter for dying and horribly maimed soldiers. Still the atmosphere of this high-class convalescent home is that of great gentility that thinly disguises the seaminess of the guests' secret activities. Though much of the film is a quirky comedy, tragedy comes creeping in when people begin dying of unnatural causes, and not even the pure mountain air can save the owners and the residents.

Entertaining movie about the early days of Polish stock exchange in the beginning of 80's. Young TV reporter is sucked into the inferno of easy money, deception, crime, sex and drugs. Sometimes like Kieslowski's moral tales, sometimes like Pasikowski's brutal fables, even sometimes like "Once upon a time in America". Fantastic creations of Baka as Maks and Majchrzak as Rekin /the Shark/ - evil incarnated.
