Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Poland's church annulment system creates genuine bureaucratic nightmares; the film satirizes a real post-communist institution where religious and state paperwork collide.
Directors Chaciński and Drabik are real-life couple who divorced before making this; the screenplay gestated through their actual separation. Art imitates life imitates art.
