Lawstorant
While the days drag by in prison, an inmate nicknamed Lawstorant (Zbigniew Buczkowski) passes the time by planning the ultimate heist -- a foolproof plan involving a bogus warehouse and enough profit to secure his financial future. But Lawstorant's decision to hook up with the risk-taking Fragler (Michal Wisniewski), the man-eating Monika (Jolanta Mrotek) and the binge-drinking Kazio (Tomasz Sapryk) may spoil a foregone conclusion.
