V. I. P. 1991
Synopsis
Roman Natorski is a young and talented composer. Due to insufficient income from his profession and the lack of suitable conditions to compose music, Roman – though initially reluctant – eventually accepts a proposition of a friend who promises generous compensation in return for a small favor. Roman\'s task is to drive a car with a woman inside to a house in the Mazury Lake District. Easy as it may seem, the assignment leads to quite unexpected series of events. Roman gets himself mixed up in an international smuggling scandal, in which persons of high standing and mafia bosses are entangled. He also gets involved in a dangerous affair, and, finally, a tape with the recording of murder cases falls into his hands.
The crime comedy set between Warsaw and Paris.
