CGiii Comment
A young gay Swiss man finds out that his great-grandfather was Polish...and, unfortunately, he decides that he wants to become Polish...too.
A cheap film with an over-inflated ego...Baier shows the conceit that most young film-makers do all too readily...autobiographical or semi-autobiographical films are, usually, uninteresting from those who have led a fraction of their lives - this is no exception.
Young directors who write and star in their own films are, usually, deficient in a few areas - this is no exception - even with a change of hair colour, Baier is not an actor who is able to command the starring role...
Cheap, indulgent and uninteresting.
