Teddy Bear 1980

Synopsis

Ryszard Ochódzki, nicknamed Teddy Bear, is the president of the sports club "Tęcza". While travelling abroad he is detained as several pages are torn out of his passport. Ochódzki suspects his wife, Irena, who may have wanted to prevent or at least delay his departure in order to reach London before him. The reason is that the couple opened a bank account some years ago in one of the London banks and now, since Irena has left Ryszard, they have to divide their assets. None of them seems to be willing to share the money deposited abroad. Consequently, whoever reaches London first, will rake the whole pot. Ochódzki does not give up easily and is doing his best to thwart his wife\'s plan, trying at the same time to get a new passport.
A cult movie with the plot full of intrigues, showing an exaggerated image of Poland of the late 70s and early 80s.
