The battle of sexes or a match of wits

Apparently, it’s men who rule the world and women rule men. Even though the battle of the sexes has defined many lives, the rivavlry between womean and men for the superiorty of intellect over emotions continues. But is chauvinism vs feminism still valid today? Don’t we complement each other because we are different? Isn’t it because women are from Venus and men are from Mars that are we able to successfully create cosmos together?

Grzegorz Chrapkiewicz – the director of the Polish-language adaptation of “Des gens intelligents” is looking for answers to these questions.

It’s a funny story about the friendship of six protagonists who are shocked to learn thaty two of them have split up.  The unexpected turn of events entails a series of misunderstandings which increase the gap between both sexes. The separation of friends breeds speculations and comments and these push the protagonists to come to terms with their own past and present. While they attempt to reflect on their lives thus far, various complexes, fears and offences come to light.

Will the protagonist escape unscathed from this difficulty? Will carefully hidden secrets protect the bonds of the six? You will see very soon.
