POLLYWOOD

It has been no secret that Hollywood was created by Polish Jews. A contemporary director from Poland is following in their footsteps, trying to pursue his own American Dream. It is a self-referential road movie in which we visit shtetls of the past and Hollywood boulevards; it is also a documentary comedy in which supporting roles are played by the famous (like Steven Spielberg) and the notorious (Harvey Weinstein). The documentary focuses on the pursuit of dreams, which has always driven the film industry. But how to come up with a recipe for success?
