Sławomir Mrożek (b. 1930) - Polish dramatist, prose writer, and cartoonist, whose works explore alienation, abuse of power, conformity, and the limitations of human freedom under a totalitarian system. Mrożek often uses surrealistic humor and grotesque situations to reveal the distorted beliefs of his characters. His most famous plays include Tango (1964), a multileveled family saga, and Emigranci (1974), about the collapse of illusions. After spending 33 years abroad, Mrożek returned to Poland in 1997.

 

Out at Sea is a story about three starving men (Fat, Medium and Thin) stuck on a raft in the middle of an ocean.  At some point they agree that one must be eaten so the two others can survive.  Sounds hilarious, doesn't it?

Yuri (Dmitry Ulyanov), a young Russian pilot and failed astronaut, is posted to Legnica with his even younger wife Vera (Svetlana Khodchenkova). Fascinated with Polish music and poetry Vera wins a Polish-Soviet "friendship song contest" while singing in both Russian and Polish. This is when she meets a Polish officer and musician Michał (Lesław Zurek). Initially Vera rejects the love and passion awakened that evening but eventually ...
 
The movie takes the viewer to a world in which together but separate lived Poles and Russians. Despite a life in constant fear, they loved; they suffered, and had dreams.....
