Premise

Staszek Sułkowski is a member of the Radical Youth Association, an inept far-right Neo-Nazi group in Białystok. Although he doesn't necessarily believe in the group's values, being a member gives him a sense of purpose and belonging. He meets Pola Ratajczyk, a left-wing activist, and they soon begin a forbidden-love affair.

Reception

The film was panned by critics. John Serba of Decider called the film "muddled" and noted that "its satire falls flat."^[4] Barbara Shulgasser-Parker of Common Sense Media wrote, "The movie is as simplistic and moronic as its subjects who blame Jews, Blacks, gays, Muslims, and foreigners for all their woes... It's their utter unawareness of that stupidity that makes this such a tough slog. Cocaine- and alcohol-fueled antics fall flat, resulting in a supremely unfunny version of The Hangover."^[5]
