Can you make fun of everything? Michael Showalter tries to answer this question. In the film, the director touches upon themes related to the conflict of generations, love in the face of disease, and deals with stereotypes about immigrants. And all this in the form of a romantic comedy.
A man with a great sense of humour and a conservative family upon him (Kumail Nanjiani) accidentally meets a modern girl who is fed up with relationships (Zoe Kazan). Love at first sight brings them together. However, on their way to happiness, the lovers will encounter a number of obstacles and challenges. When it seems that the whole world – headed by their families – is plotting to destroy their happiness, life can show its funniest face in the seemingly hopeless situations.
The screening will be followed by a discussion.

Cycle: Comics
As the saying goes, laughter is good for your health. It is difficult to deny it, with numerous studies to prove it. We especially need it at times when reality becomes difficult and overwhelming – it helps to relieve tension and gain distance. Laughter can be loud, contagious or you can laugh through tears… They know very well how life-giving it is. Comedians, whom we are talking about, are drawn to the limelight for various reasons. Each of them has his own story and sometimes hides a completely different face behind the one presented on stage – full of doubts and complexes. They have one thing in common: charisma, diligence and an insatiable need to admire and entertain the crowds. In our April cycle you will get to know them better. “I love you anyway”, “The King of comedy”, “Joker”, “Lenny” – these are four different comedians. It’s worth taking a look at all of them. And never underestimate them – just take the example of the President of Ukraine, who hid the face of the hero under the mask of a comedian. The protagonists of our films also have more than one face and can sometimes surprise you in a spectacular way.
The project is co-financed by the Polish Film Institute.
