Screenings

10/23, 19:15 · Od Nowa – new hall

According to the director, Traffic Department “is a colourful story about contemporary Warsaw. This is a subjective portrait of the city pulsating with headlights and roof lights on police cars. It is a film about stupid drivers, absurd traffic regulations, traffic jams, motorways built on paper, and roads with potholes — they way they actually look like. And also about a simple fact: if there are those, who take, then there are those, who give. One can reflect on the subtle difference between a bribe and a token of gratitude. (...)”. The plot encompasses events that take place in a single week. The protagonists are a group of friends, who share the same line of work, same passions and businesses. The criminal thread is equally important, as it is a parable about corruption, which — according to the director’s own words — starts on the back seat of a police car, and ends in... Brussels.

The film is co-financined by Polish Film Institute.
