Marcin, who is 26, is a colaholic. The fizzy beverage accompanied him during his play as a child, when doing homework and at school breaks. Quite imperceptibly, drinking Coca-Cola became as natural for him as having lunch or going out for a walk.
New recruits go to the army and experience nothing but humiliation, cruelty and pure sadism from older soldiers.
A cat lover, Jesus leaving the cross and Christmas carollers holding pitchforks are set against a snowy and icy scenery. ‘Zima’, a psychodelic journey to a small fishing village, collects as if in a lens the behaviour, customs and vices of the Polish provinces. In this small community, different views, the behaviour of people and animals and their mutual relations clash like ice floes on a lake. Maintained in the convention of magic realism, this animation is like a horror playing out to the accompaniment of barking dogs and a punk metal music score.
A revolution that ends before it begins, a senseless and degrading job of serving the wealthy, power over the world concentrated in the hands of irresponsible people. This cannot work - the orchestra is ready for the last performance...
During the production of the play based on Aristophanes’ „Birds” the three artist friends face the painful truth about themselves. Someone regrets abandoning someone. Someone seduces the director of the play, because they believe in polyamory. Somebody thinks that the war has never ended and one must never surrender. Someone else claims that it’s all about how you fall and you should know how to drop. And in the meantime, somebody decides to express an unusual declaration of love.
