Overview

"Zmiennicy" is a grotesque comedy of absurdity and reality that masterfully blends slapstick, satire, and surrealism to expose the absurdities of life under communist rule in the People's Republic of Poland (PRL). The story follows Jacek Żytkiewicz, a taxi driver in Warsaw, and his mysterious new shift partner, Katarzyna Piórecka, who disguises herself as a man to get the job. The series is a comedy of the grotesque, filled with exaggerated characters, nonsensical bureaucracy, and surreal plot twists. It mocks the inefficiencies and contradictions of PRL institutions—from corrupt officials and inept police to bizarre workplace dynamics and social hypocrisy. Underneath the absurdity lies a thriller-like subplot: a drug trafficking operation smuggling heroin from Thailand to West Germany. This storyline, featuring shady sports officials, a Thai student, and a crooked firefighter, adds a layer of intrigue reminiscent of American crime dramas.

Abu Janti (King of taxi/ King of lancer)

2010

The events of the series take place through ordinary and passing characters (passengers), who are picked up by Abu Janti taxi by chance, so that the hero catches their stories and comments on them and affects or is influenced by them in the context of his daily movement and pension, and in a mold that tends to wit in most of its area, but it approaches tragedy or crying sometimes, conveying the image of reality The real, with critical sarcasm or cynical pain. The work tries to enter the personal worlds of taxi drivers and the worlds of customers, which will not be devoid of the funnyness of the situation, with a satirical comic framework. The work belongs to the type of black comedy, as it presents the problems of society so that it forces you, as a viewer, to oscillate between laughing and crying in the same scene. The series carries new and varied ideas and creates topics that touch the problems and concerns of simple people.
