A polish biographical drama directed by Daniel Jaroszek that discusses the life of a criminal, Patryk Galewski (Piotr Trojan), and his rehabilitation under the observation of a priest Fr. Jan Kaczkowski (Dawid Ogrodnik), “Johnny” presents a case to comprehend and defend whether there it’s possible to change human nature. The plays of Shakespeare have proven that human nature cannot be changed or that it remains constant. You can consider ambitious Macbeth, indecisive Hamlet, or jealous Iago; from the start to the end, these characters remain the same. Although geneticists have given us reason to believe that there is a possibility of changing human nature, there are plenty of pieces of evidence that even after having been ruled since 1949, the Chinese personality hasn’t changed from individualistic to communitarian. But psychologist Robert Kurzban gave us a ray of hope that human nature can be introduced to a different perspective and allowed to nurture that perspective.

Sexify is a series created by Kalina Alabrudzinska y Piotr Domalewski starring Aleksandra Skraba, Maria Sobocinska, Sandra Drzymalska and Piotr Pacek among others.

Sexify is a funny (and dramatic) Polish series about teens and the lives of these girls and thier new app. After the success of the first season, a second season has been released, which using the same daring lines, lets us see a more modern country in the pattern of classic American comedy… with, obviously, the subject of sexual discovery which is the great catalyzing element in the story, for its marketing and for the audience.

Sexify (2021-)

It is undeniable that Sexify almost manages to merge the realistic treatment in the Polish film industry in which an informal teen comedy tone, which isn´t totally wild, does manage to have a certain comedy level inside a more intelligent humor.
