Destined for Blues

Ryszard Riedel (Tomasz Kot) fronts Dżem, the Polish blues rock band whose cult following is built on his voice. At home he has a wife, Małgorzata (Jolanta Fraszyńska), and a father, Jan (Adam Baumann), and the film is as interested in those two relationships as it is in the stage. Jan Kidawa-Błoński follows Ryszard's drinking and his habit for "kompot," the homemade drug of the Polish underground, and what the music costs the man who makes it.
