POLISH TITLE: POGRZEBINY
REPRESENTED BY KFF
“And remember. You’ve got a big brother”... a motivating phrase that Pyjter repeats to The Kid several times a day. They are both waiters in a restaurant focused on special occasions. But today’s shift is going to be a shift with a difference. Pyjter is all set to find The Kid a girl. And being as he’s more experienced, he’ll find the best... because when it comes to what’s good for his brother, he knows best. Unfortunately, it’s a funeral today… so the mournful mood will just have to be banished and a party atmosphere stirred up. Because before the day is out, the timorous Kid is going to become a man…
