The Stroke

A sharp, self-destructive satire of artistic elites that feels both chaotic and oddly vital, with a darkly comic edge.

Created by

Paweł Demirski

Genres

Comedy, Drama

Starring

Jacek Poniedziałek, Marta Malikowska, Rafał Maćkowiak

Overview

Jacek is a foodie, gay and Warsaw bon vivant who has his own TV show, several similarly eccentric close ones around him and self-destructive tendencies. A dramedy that makes fun of the Polish artistic elite, for whom Warsaw is “the only real Polish city”, cannot be compared to other shows. It is the authorial work of playwright and screenwriter Pawel Demirski. He wrote it from the beginning with the intention of presenting a hero contrasting with the burnout syndrome often felt today - a vital madman who believes the best is yet to come.
