DROGÓWKA

TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
by Wojciech Smarzowski
Country: Poland
Year: 2013
Duration: 117'


The violent death of a municipal cop in Warsaw upsets the lives of six of his colleagues, who are united by a great professional team spirit and a strong friendship, cemented by drinking and hot-rod races. The primary suspect is Sergeant Krol, who owes the deceased a lot of money and who is also married to the man’s lover. Krol flees to avoid arrest and is forced to prove his innocence. His investigation opens up a Pandora’s box of corruption, illegal activities and embezzlement in the upper echelons of the police department and local politics.
