Four Polish workers are brought to London to renovate an apartment at low-cost. Nowak, the only one who speaks English, manages the project. But when he learns of a political coup happening in Poland that will make it difficult to return home, Nowak makes the decision to not tell his crew.

Made in quick response to the military clampdown that plagued Poland in December 1981, this startling allegory stands among Jerzy Skolimowski’s greatest works. A tale of political displacement starring Jeremy Irons, Moonlighting captures the surreality of inadvertent exile under grey London skies.
