Bustards, directed by Marcin Liber, is a whimsical road comedy in which the protagonist toils away as an ATM operator, while residing in a dog kennel. Next, she finds herself living in a dumpster. She then loses her job and finds retreat in the forest, where she seems to be going nowhere though. She later becomes an artist and joins other artists living in a basement, but then moves to a kiosk and later a garage to remain adrift again. A twist of fate leads her to meet great bustards (Otis tarda), birds once instrumental in securing Poland’s freedom and independence, who have returned to save Poland our beloved homeland once again.
