Balladyny i romanse

The mighty old gods have been pushed aside by the trivial idols of pop culture, the global village gives no security, and lonely people live from day to day; coffee is running out and irons are disappearing. So a crowd of gods, among them Nike, Aphrodite, Jesus, Osiris and Lucifer, descend among people, in Poland of all places, and squabble in everyday speech. Meanwhile fifty-year-old Olga, a virgin and eternal single, has an affair with Janek, a lout in a tracksuit who begins to turn into a sensitive young man. Under the farce lie religion, nationalism and social roles.
