One day in the People's Republic of Poland

September 27, 1962.

Nothing special happened in the People's Republic of Poland that day. The weather forecast predicted moderate cloudiness. More than 1,600 citizens were born, about 600 died. Day like everyday...

Edited exclusively from archival materials, a funny and bitter documentary portrait of one day, from dawn to dusk - what the state and its citizens lived on that day.
