POLISH ILLUSIONS
Darłowo is a typical seaside resort living from one season to another. But everyday lives of its inhabitants are not boring at all. A new director of the cultural centre is trying to do his best to provide an interesting cultural offer. Elderly Jan, alias ‘Luciano’, practices a slightly forgotten art of magic. Mark, a cowboy from Colorado, fascinated with military items, despite his sexist views, wins the hearts of women in the vicinity. Michał, alias ‘Mike’, accompanies Mark as his interpreter and hopes that one day he will succeed, too.
