Walter Presents: The King Of Warsaw Series Premiere (Channel 4 Sun 15 May 2022)
To coincide with the launch of the full series on All 4 from Friday 13 May, the first episode transmits on Channel 4. Walter Presents – which showcases the best foreign language drama series from around the world – continues with this powerful Polish crime drama set in Warsaw in 1937.
On May Day, in the heart of Warsaw, a Jewish mafia-organized socialist rally clashes violently with members of an anti-Jewish fascist rally. Buddy Kaplica, the mafia’s boss, is apprehended by the responding officers.
Buddy’s close friend and boxer Jakub Szapiro asks the Prime Minister for favours, and Kaplica walks free. Jakub is preparing for a big fight, but what he really wants is to succeed Kaplica in the ring, and Kaplica tempts him with that bait. The fascists want control of the city as well, and they are willing to fight for it.
Precarious balancing acts between the law and various factions, as well as between gangs, are on the verge of collapse…
Starring Michal Zurawski, Arkadiusz Jakubik, Borys Szyc, Kacper Olszewski, Aleksandra Pisula, Lena Gora and Piotr Pacek.
In Polish with English subtitles.
