Dogs II: Last Blood — directed by Władysław Pasikowski, Poland 1994, 99'

Sensational script, iconic roles of Bogusław Linda and Cezary Pazura and dialogues that have entered the canon of Polish cinema. Against the backdrop of the ongoing war in the Balkans, the former major of the foreign trade troops Wolf and his accomplices plan to illegally transport weapons. To carry out a dangerous order, they need uncompromising and loyal people.

Meanwhile, Franz Maurer is released from prison and unsuccessfully tries to rebuild his life. When he receives an offer from Wolf to participate in a lucrative arms trade immediately after his release from the steelworks, he enlists an old colleague, New. However, they do not know that the entire operation is under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the beginning.
