Synopsis: Few people know that the Polish city of Krakow has another face – a district called Nowa Huta, a model for a communist city. Tourists bored with the usual historical attractions, can choose an alternate trip into the absurdities of communist times. Instead of visiting the medieval part of the city, they decide to live one day of the gloomy communist Poland. Crazy Mike from Krakow specializes in organizing guided tours that are anything but typical. He drives the tourists to Nowa Huta and allows the relics of the past to unfold their charms.
