The Wedding

Synopsis

In contemporary Poland, a peasant from the Carpathians prepares for his daughter's marriage. As a wedding present, he buys a brand new Audi TT thanks to a discount obtained by the priest. On the way from the church to the wedding banquet, the father of the bride pays the priest's brother-in-law what he owes for the luxury car. Unfortunately, it's not quite a done deal, since there are a couple of acres missing from what's been agreed, that are still in the possession of the bride's grandfather. Although the latter has no intention of giving up his land, the father promises it will all be worked out during the wedding meal. Mistrustful, the seller holds on to the car's papers. Whilst the guests and the bridal couple clink glasses, negotiations and sharp dealings to resolve the deal play out amidst all the traditional Polish wedding rituals. Over the course of the festivities, which in the end are no more than an enormous ostentatious display, the car becomes the crystallising agent in the relationships between the characters and thus highlights what is really at stake: which is money.
