Film description from the Paulina Migalska's event announcement on Facebook:

"Mirka is a beautiful girl living at Praga, one of the Warsaw's districts where
bums and colorful drunkards occupy old dwellings. She is in love with a unique
ambience of her neighborhood, but chose a different path than her friends; she
graduated from a prestigious school of law. Though it looks as her profession
may be a blot on her family's honor, her skills are the last resort for
inhabitants of an old building. The girl's personal charm, cunning and
Hollywood-like tricks will help her in performing the craziest stunt of all her
career...

A splendid cast of Polish stars: Anna Przybylska (double), Cezary Pazura, Robert
Gonera, Szymon Bobrowski, Krzysztof Kowalewski, Pawel Wilczak, Iza Kuna, Edward
Linde-Lubaszenko."

Description in Polish:

"Mirka to piekna dziewczyna z warszawskiej Pragi. Wychowana i zakochana w typowo
praskim klimacie, wybrala jednak zasadniczo inna droge zyciowa niz jej
przyjaciele z dziecinstwa, ukonczyla bowiem prestizowy wydzial prawa. Choc
wydawac by sie moglo, ze jej zawod to wrecz ujma na honorze rodziny z
cwaniackimi korzeniami, okazuje sie byc dla mieszkancow starej kamienicy
ostatnia deska ratunku. Aby pomoc najblizszym, Mirka, uzywajac osobistego
wdzieku, wrodzonego sprytu i trikow rodem z Hollywood, bedzie musiala zdobyc sie
na najbardziej zwariowany numer w calej swojej dotychczasowej karierze...

Film jest w j. polskim z napisami angielskimi!"
