Everything for Sale

An autotematic look at the film environment, an intimate tribute to Zbigniew Cybulski and a personal story about loss, memory and the mythology of cinema.

In the process of making a certain film, the actor playing the main role in it leaves the film set and does not return to the pictures. The director (Andrzej Łapicki) organizes further work on the film, drives around Warsaw and its surroundings, meets in turn with his wife (Beata Tyszkiewicz), the actor's former partner (Elżbieta Czyżewska) and a friend (Daniel Olbrychski), trying to understand the reasons for the escape and at the same time find a way to finish the film. Increasingly lost and helpless, he feels an increasing alienation from the environmental coterie, social animosities and lies in which the members of the crew wallow. In the morning, information about the tragic death of the actor reaches the heroes. However, the film needs to be shot further.
