THE PAWN SHOP
Jola and Wiesiek are a pair of eccentric businessmen from Bytom.Together they run probably the biggest pawnshop in Europe. However, the time of its glory has passed with the closure of nearby mines and growing unemployment in the city. Neither Wiesiek’s crazy marketing ideas nor Jola’s tender heart can help the failing business. Although the pawnshop brings losses, it becomes an important center of life for the local community. With disaster looming, the owners make one last attempt to save their business and their love.
