The acting is professional, the plot is interesting but the script and direction are atrocious. The action does not flow giving us the impression that something is missing.

Plot summary
The bond between Nina and Wojtek seems less than an ideal partnership. Maybe that's because she's a brittle high school French teacher from an upper-middle-class intellectual family and he's a mechanic clearly out of his element in their elegant apartment. Airport security guard Magda is in a relationship with chic stewardess Ada, but she plays the field in the frequent times her lover is away. Then one day Nina absentmindedly backs into Magda's car, conveniently near Wojtek's shop. Attracted to Magda's natural beauty and palpable inner strength, Wojtek suggests to Nina that they seduce the young woman into being the surrogate they need to conceive the child that's meant to hold them together. But an unexpected love story develops slowly between two women which goes from being kept behind closed doors to public places.

No Emotional Connection to the Characters
This Polish drama centers on Nina and Wojtek's (Julia Kijowska and Andrzej Konopka) desperate attempt to find a surrogate mother for their baby. After Nina accidentally backs into a high school students car, they seem to think they might finally have found the right woman. Eliza Rycembel portrays the student Magda, who is gay and highly impulsive.
However, things will soon go "off the rails", and without writing too many spoilers I'll just say they'll all eventually go down a rather dark and twisted road. I could never connect emotionally with any of these characters, and the filmmakers just seemed to be trying to shock with constant nudity and lesbian sex scenes rather than character development.
Overall, this movie just didn't work for me on any level and i was glad when it was over.
