A Polish Family

Winter break has arrived. Parents suddenly face the challenge of keeping their kids entertained and filling up all that free time. But new challenges aren’t always easy to handle – how, for example, do you set up a ski jump inside the house? During the break, Kuba discovers his supernatural gift – he’s a telephonopath... The holidays and household chaos come to an end all too quickly. Unfortunately, not everything slips back into the old routine right away.

When the kids’ nanny quits, Natalia and Ludwik scramble to find a replacement. A series of failed candidates forces them to juggle childcare themselves – an exhausting task with three lively boys. Natalia grows apathetic, Ludwik turns to desperate measures, and just when they finally hire a new nanny, her choice of a “classic” movie leaves the Boskis anything but pleased.

Natalia and Ludwik want their sons to learn the value of money. The boys are amazed their parents once had a Mercedes cabrio. But keeping a family is expensive. Kuba quickly learns to negotiate for allowance, and Ludwik faces three tough little bargainers.

Kuba and Kacper are constantly fighting – always over the TV remote. Natalia tries to bring the family together at the table, using some unconventional methods. At school, Kuba has to face the tough Olczak. Natalia urges him to stay peaceful, while Ludwik backs her up with advice. In the end, they all learn the difference between the power of argument and the argument of power.

Tomek is dating Sylwia, and Natalia is eager to hear how it’s going. Though he doesn’t share everything, he sometimes needs her advice. Ludwik is impressed by his oldest son’s behavior. Kacper and Kuba also talk about love and girls. But life isn’t all romance – there’s Brussels sprouts, rap, and taking out the trash to deal with too.

The parents and kids can’t agree on food. The boys are picky, and Natalia struggles to balance their demands with her own beliefs. Even the parents start to clash. To make matters worse, these food fights reveal deeper parenting challenges.
