Slightly will not

“It won't be easy” by Jean-Claude Islert is an incredibly funny French comedy about love, appearances, seeking happiness in defiance of conventions, tolerance for one's own antics and hypocrisy in judging others.

Steady lecturer Eduardo (Jan Jankowski) romancing smart student Sarah (Milena Staszuk/Paulina Lasota/Aleksandra Grzelak), his ex-wife Marion (Andzelika Piechowiak/Małgorzata Sadowska) in love with a younger partner and their daughter Julie (Katarzyna Grabowska/Natalia Smagacka/Milena Staszuk) having a new, a little older fiancé Marco (Kacper Kuszewski/Sambor Czarnota /Stefan Pawłowski), a mustachioed “artist”, a light-hearted, penniless soul, will initiate an avalanche of mistakes and absurdity, complications and solutions that would not have crossed your mind, because when If everything fails, you can always blame the plumber — an immigrant from the East...

“It won't be easy” is a great comedy of mistakes. The main characters got involved in numerous intrigues, but they manage to get out of them unscathed. Until the end, they keep their face and delve deeper and deeper into their own lies. At some point, they got so entangled in intrigues that they themselves get lost in it. The actors were brilliantly chosen for their roles, and therefore uncontrolled outbursts of laughter and abdominal pain are guaranteed!

And so in the end, building on the acting game, a comedy spectacle is created, in which the age of the protagonists and their midlife crises, and then also the rebellions of adolescence, initiate an avalanche of absurd situations. They will consist of many mistakes and understatements, but this will ensure that from the very beginning, until the curtain falls, laughter and a good joke will remain on the stage. Tomasz Sapryk, the director, managed to create a well-kept comedy from Jean — Claude Islert's text, in which the vicissitudes connected with the loves of all the characters will be tied into one significant thread, into which the viewer will quickly be drawn into. And the action, instead of unraveling itself, will mix more and more, and so on until the ending, in which there will be no lack of surprise, because such a resolution of all the plots was difficult to expect.
