Zbigniev's Cupboard

Synopsis

Zbigniev and Henio have a difficult relationship. Zbigniev is more interested in hoarding items he collects on the black market than playing chess with his father. He is always after more space and more items to fill that space until he finally manages to purchase a precious cupboard on the black market of 1970s Poland, much to his father's annoyance.

This is a strange world, where everything seems upside down.
