About the film:
Director Maciej Wojtyszko brought together two "Saints" of Polish cinema to star in his new comedy "Święty Interes" / "Holy Business". Actors Adam Woronowicz (star of "Popiełuszko. Freedom is Within Us", dir. Rafał Wieczyński) and Piotr Adamczyk ("Karol: The Man who Became Pope", dir. Giacomo Batiatto) have taken a departure from serious roles to entertain audiences in a lighter genre.

"Holy Business" is the story of two brothers who come back to their native village for their father's funeral. Their legacy consists of a barn in ruins and an old, sputtering car. The automobile's history is the subject of much speculation, as rumour has it that it once belonged Bishop Karol Wojtyła (the future John Paul II). Some even believe in the car's divine healing properties, and the heirs get offers for the vehicle. Thus, the brothers hope that the coveted car's sale will sort out their financial issues, as Leszek wants to quit his cleaner job in Switzerland while Janek wants to clear his huge gambling debts.

The sunny Polish countryside is reminiscent of a local Provence, yet director Maciej Wojtyszko chose to portray it in a more intimate manner, combining comedy flavour with the subtle capture of Polish typical idiosyncrasies, though his characters are always portrayed with sympathy. Residents of the village, while friendly and helpful, keep the truth about the car a secret.
