The Little will screen Excentrycy, czyli po słonecznej stronie ulicy (The Eccentrics: The Sunny Side of the Street, Janusz Majewski, Poland 2016, 112 min.) as part of the 2016 Polish Film Festival.
Fabian, a war emigrant, jazz trombone player, and dancer, returns to Poland from London in the 1950s. Together with a group of local eccentrics and amateur musicians he forms a swing big band. With the first performance the band gathers an unexpected interest. Fabian meets Modest (Natalia Rybicka), an intriguing jazz singer, who joins the band. They become lovers and as the king and queen of swing lead the life of an admired pair against the gloomy reality of the decade. At a certain point of the film a romantic thread is overtaken by a spy one, with Modest being kidnapped.
