The Pawnshop

Lombard

Directing: Łukasz Kowalski

Synopsis

Jola and Wiesiek, a couple of extraordinary entrepreneurs, run the biggest pawnshop in the south of Poland. Profitable in the past, today the business only generates loses. Financial troubles affect their relationship. The problems have several causes. Residents of the neighbourhood in which the pawnshop operates more and more often pawn worthless objects to make their ends meet. Wiesiek's irrational marketing initiatives and the good heart of Jola who financially supports poor clients are not conducive to improving the situation either. The love of Jola and Wiesiek begins to falter when the money to live on runs out and they feel overburdened with protracted problems and fights. At the same time, in the back of the pawnshop, a new love is born between two young employees, Roksana and Tomek.
Meanwhile, a harsh winter is coming and the conditions in the shop deteriorate. The owners get into another big brawl. To save the business, they decide to organize a grand spring sale.
