Enzo (Mateusz Banasiuk) is not really Enzo. He's actually Stefan, but the world knows him as Enzo, the famous model who drives around town in luxurious sports cars, using his sexy smile to pick up women. Klaudia (Adrianna Chlebicka) is not really Klaudia. It's actually Monika, a teacher who trades in her jean zip-up jumper and oversized glasses for stilettos, short skirts, false eyelashes, contact lenses, and a curly wig to become Klaudia, the celebrity billboard model. advertising throughout the city. The third main character in the film is The Invisible Force Of Destiny (TIFOD), played by screenwriters Marzanna Polit and Wiktor Piatkowski, a nebulous presence who conspires to lock the lips of Enzo/Stefan and Klaudia/Monika.
It doesn't happen that easily though because The Invisible Force Of Destiny has a sense of humor and also has to fill about 100 minutes of the movie's running time. From time to time, TIFOD steps back to allow for character development: Enzo lives with Alicja (Agnieszka Zulewska), a sort of manager at the advertising company that employs him. She has a tough personality who clearly values her giant dog above him, and although they have an open relationship, she is not happy that he takes advantage of her so often. She kicks him out, forcing him to move in with his brother (Krzysztof Czeczot) and his young niece Ania (Helena Mazur).

Klaudia goes from brilliant photo shoots to chaotic class of hers, making Kindergarten Cop look like Romper Room on barbiturates. Her principal (Tomasz Karolak) is a tough guy who doesn't like her despite his beloved status, and has a huge boner from standardized test scores. Monika hates modeling but puts up with it so she can pay off her father's (Miroslaw Baka) debt (note: he doesn't know she's Klaudia either), which is the kind of debt that has heavies grabbing him by the lapels and threatening to kill him. break his fingers Teaching is her REAL passion, but if she revealed the horrible TRUTH of her alter ego to herself, oh, that would be a SCANDAL, I guess!
And so, TIFOD works to put Klaudia and Enzo in the same project, where they will play romantic sex lovers who kiss next to and/or on top of sports cars. He also conspires to make Enzo fall in love with Ania, who happens to be one of Monika's students. In particular, Enzo looks like Markus and Markus looks like Enzo, where Monika and Klaudia are two distinctive sides of a woman's life. They're both being deceitful: she's keeping a secret, and he thinks she's playing two different ways. There's a tingle between Enzo and Klaudia on set, and there's a spark between Enzo and Monika when she goes on school field trips. Will he ever find out the truth of all this? And will he really be rewarded for being a two-timing scoundrel? NIE SPOJLERY!
Sorry, but Monika/Klaudia's Superman routine isn't convincing. And cheesy. And burdened by tired stereotypes. Maybe it would work if the movie had a more bubbly, absurdist, or self-aware tone, but it takes itself 10 percent too seriously and struggles to find its point of comedy. In a quest for laughs, director Filip Zylber plays his share of off-key notes, for example the scene where Enzo and Klaudia first meet, on their way to a modeling shoot, when he picks her up after her car breaks down, and he jokes that she's a prostitute like the women across the street, even though they're on a country road surrounded by forest, which is where prostitutes in Poland apparently hang out. is this funny Or plausible? Even remotely? You know the answer to that.
The script is a messy, repetitive thing that moves in leaden boots. Maybe it's good that he takes the time to let us get to know the characters, but without a balance of pace and development and minimal chemistry between the leads, it's a drag. The plot throws up pointless complications, including that old chestnut, the Kid with a Life-threatening Allergy, which feel like slow-motion contortions that Monika and Enzo must navigate their way to the inevitable conclusion, as dictated by TIFOD. It's not a movie you'll actively dislike; it's just flat, uninspired and unattractive.
