1670(2023)

1670 is a Polish mockumentary set in 17th-century rural nobility, following a self-important landowner whose grand ambitions keep colliding with his own family and the peasants he can barely manage. The format stays close to the camera-confessional style familiar from workplace comedies, but the period setting gives it a specific absurdist texture: slapstick and satire sit right next to each other, and demons, fairies, and witches turn up as casually as livestock.

Contemporary debates about gender equality, immigration, and LGBT rights get threaded into the 1600s backdrop without winking too hard at the audience. The anachronism is the joke, but the family dynamics carry real friction too: father-son tension, sibling rivalry, and a daughter who consistently outmaneuvers everyone around her keep the ensemble from coasting on premise alone.
