While Bear is stopped at the border with a faulty passport, his ex plans to hurry to London to empty their joint bank account.A hit comedy in Poland, TEDDY BEAR launched acclaimed writer Stanislaw Tym’s career as a satirist and spawned a successful sequel, Calls Controlled.

(1 reviews)| |  | Hilarious Film About Daily Life in 1970s Poland |  |
He tricks his new girlfriend into helping him get a new passport. She knew that he was cheated with his passport, so now she agrees to do the same in helping him get a new one. As part of their scheme, their friend (who makes films) does a search for a look-a-like, under the guise of staring in one of his films.
One of the funniest scenes in the film is when the filmmakers are shooting the "hunt" scene. Lacking a rabbit, they take a cat and put rabbit fur and ears on it. They release the cat and film the dogs casing the "rabbit" up a tree.
"Mis," made in 1981, is an entertaining 111-minute film poking fun at many situations in 1970s Poland. Understanding the historical and political climate of 1970s Poland makes the film even funnier, but is sure to be funny even with minimal knowledge of this. Additionally, as with any comedy in another language, some of the humor is lost in the subtitles. If you understand Polish, "Mis" is even funnier.
