When, a dozen years ago, domestic music critics anxiously watched the conquest of the music market by songs of the italo disco genre, they did not expect that in just a few years a much worse mutant - disco-polo - would be born in Polish popular music. It all started at village weddings and parties, where local bands, having gotten their hands on a synthesizer, would serenade guests to dance.
Disco polo, the most popular as well as criticised music genre of 1990s Poland, is discussed in this film by its creators and major stars.
A car mechanic falls in love with a married woman and does everything to be close to her.
Sławek Wiśnik, a young, ambitious musician and graduate of the conservatory's organ class, wants to escape from Kaliszewo, a small town near Suwałki, and pursue a career in music. Unfortunately, he does not receive the expected scholarship to study in Heidelberg and has to start a new life in his hometown. His girlfriend, Agnieszka, plans to get married soon, especially since her father, Zenon Nowak, offers Sławek a job running his business. However, this does not suit Sławek, who prefers to play as a substitute organist, and even... as a disco-polo musician.
Zbyszek Butryn returns to Poland from exile to help win the Solidarity elections. His children, staying in orphanages, who intend to find him, learn about his father's return.
A sociological portrait of young people – "children of martial law" (anarchists, skinheads, young Piłsudski supporters, yuppies).
With the emergence of techno music, a new lifestyle and way of spending free time was born, and discos gave way to clubs. Fans of this music, who seek an everyday escape from reality in techno and related trends (trance, trans energy, house, progressive house, badboybreaks, drum-bass, and many others), a way to manifest their separateness from the adult world, to break out of the prevailing patterns, call themselves new hippies.
