Adaś Miauczyński, a Polish intellectual, has severe alcohol problems which affect his relationship with his son Sylwek.

Fear, anger, sadness, joy, disgust, envy, shame. Adaś Miauczyński goes back to his childhood days when, like most of us, he used to find it problematic to name the emotions that accompanied him. To improve the quality of his adult life, he decides to return to that time – which proves not so carefree after all – to learn how to experience the seven basic emotions. This extremely unpredictable journey into the past features an abundance of hilarious, even comical, situations but is also filled with lots of touching moments and food for thought.

Middle aged man lies sleeplessly in bed, recalling his numerous sexual encounters. The various couplings are haphazard, loveless affairs in which most of the women are as anxious to release sexual tension as he is. He fails to find fulfillment and is left with feelings of despair and hopelesness.

If you've ever felt like your life sucks, or you're just having a bad day, then I would recommend watching the film, "Nothing Funny (Nic Smiesznego)." In comparison to this guy's life, you might not feel that things are so bad. The story is about a film director, told through personal reflections and a review of his own life. Although he's had brief moments of success, he understands that, in real life, he always comes in second, and this infuriates him. C. Pazura's role in "Nothing Funny" is nothing short of great acting; we see the man's deep sadness, reflected in his daydreams of a better life, and in his neurotic outbursts when his life overwhelms him. Our director is always looking for his "Malgorzata," his true love. He doesn't know what she looks like, only that he has loved her his entire life. This, of course, is a reference to Bulhakow's novel, "Mistrz i Malgorzata" (Master and Margaret), about a man who, while visiting a park, meets the true love of his life. The director's marriage is a disaster, and he constantly dreams of meeting his own "Malgorzata." The viewer gets inside the man's depressing and disturbing life, in the disasters on his film set, in his social life, and with the ladies he seeks out for relief. I can relate with his life on some levels, as who hasn't had a miserable day? I highly enjoyed this sad, but also very funny film.

It is a bitter story about a middle-aged man, who hates his life and other people, including himself. Adam Miauczynski, the character known from director Marek Koterski's previous films, is a 49 year-old teacher, who reads poetry during school lessons and later goes home swearing and calling his neighbours' names. The worst pain for him is the next 5 minutes of living. He doesn't accept himself and even everyday contacts with others cause his aggression. Though constantly dreaming of a romantic love, he is not bold enough to make his dreams come true. The desperate Miauczynski personalizes our own fears and obsessions, which have become so visible recently.
