The Perfect Afternoon

2007 · 91 min

A quiet, talky Polish dramedy about family, work and weddings, with a wry, lived-in texture and understated feeling.

Soon the young couple are to be married, unfortunately they have too little time to prepare for the wedding. The failure of their first book has meant that they must now focus primarily on the publishing house. At the same time, her ex-husband Andrzej arrives in Warsaw to visit his mother Maria. He has been invited to his son's wedding. For this celebration he is going to go just with Maria.
