Polish Film Fest Starts Tonight With 80 Million

Madison's Polish Film Festival kicks off tonight with 80 Million.

A new film by Waldemar Krzystek. Poland, Lower Silesia, the beginning of a very cold winter 1981. After the series of entrapments by the Security Service a confrontation between the opposition and the communists seems to be inevitable. Just before the proclamation of martial law a group of young Solidarity activists decide to play va banque and organize a rash action to take out 80 million of the Union money from one of the Wroclaw's banks before the account would be blocked. Security Service officers follow their steps. It's the beginning of a gripping tournament in which also priests and curb dealers will play their parts. Each side has aces up their sleeve.

It looks like I'll be seeing it with a friend who grew up in Poland at this time so I should get some interesting bonus commentary.
