Swedish filmmakers Terese Mörnvik and Ewa Einhorn team up with Fredrik Gertten from WG Film in Malmö, Sweden to bring you a documentary about a place where time has stood still for the past decades. Born from a concept of the communist past, Poland once had over 25 000 Milkbar’s to serve cheap traditional food for families, old and homeless people

Once run and owned by the Polish government, now privately operated only 140 bars remain. Danuta Dzius is the owner of Bar Bywalec. This is a story how she tries to keep the bygone times alive, with the liberal market knocking on her front door. “– Why can’t there be Milkbar’s all over the world?” she says, and how right she is.

Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s.

Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
