Early 90’s, post-communist rural Poland. Four village hicks with Casio-tunes knock out tacky Euro-disco songs about spotted pants & the like. Their fans smile, dance, get drunk... and buy their records: 16 million of them. ‘Bayer Full’ eventually becomes the most successful Polish artists ever. 2010, Shanghai. Krzysztof Darewicz, Polish maverick journalist phones Slawek Swierzynski, a farmer and the leader of the long forgotten band. Darewicz has a plan: “You will perform concerts in China, and you will record a new album - in Chinese! ...simple?” Swierzynski is laughing, Darewicz is not. Even Chopin would have been worried...
