At first glance, Kebab & Horoscope is a movie full of the absurd. It's a story the misfit employees of a carpet store who one day get confronted by two crooks with the graceful nicknames Kebab and Horoscope. One is an ex-kebab shop employee, the other a ex-fortune teller from a wildlife magazine. They enter the store and claim to be marketing specialists, and begin training the staff in order to save the store from bankruptcy. The staff themselves, consists of characters incredibly colorful in their blandness, and apart from doing useless tasks in the store, have to deal with their private lives. "Kebab & Horoscope is a story about awkward people, who seek love in life. My characters’ clumsiness confronted with the absurd world makes my film a comedy. Comic aspect, though, is only to soften a tough story about loneliness, unfulfilled need of love and sadness. My actors have peculiar looks, on the visual level they build each other by contrast. Static camera, observing heroes more than participating, cold shades, are underlining characters’ alienation. Narration will build an absurd and funny film about people, who discover, that there is no sense in trying to fight against loneliness." – said director, Grzegorz Jaroszuk PRESS ON FILM: "Delightful moments of inspired silliness will make it a breath of fresh air for festival programmers." (Variety) "Programmers around Europe will rejoice at the opportunity to lighten up their usually bleak selections." (Cineuropa) “Owing more than a nod to the likes Aki Kaurismäki and Roy Andersson...Kebab & Horoscope should deservedly grab the attention of arthouse distributors looking for leftfield black comedies.” (Screen Daily)
