The Maniacs

Two former convicts move to the Polish countryside to start over and avoid further trouble with the law. Their attempt at a quiet life is disrupted when Eryk takes his young daughter, Dżesika, away from her grandfather. As the group travels across the country, a serious medical crisis strikes Karolka. Because they cannot afford the necessary treatment, Eryk and Dżesika resort to robbing a bank and attempting to remove Karolka from the hospital, placing them back in the crosshairs of legal authorities.
