Oct 4 2002 Not Rated 1h 27m
Comedy, Drama, Romance

Set in a small Polish town, "Louder Than Bombs" tells the coming-of-age story of Marcin, a 21-year-old with a penchant for James Dean and The Smiths. After the death of his father, Marcin must contend with the funeral arrangements while hosting his buffoonish out-of-town relatives who disparage his small town life as a mechanic in his father's garage. In addition, Marcin must face the news that his lifelong girlfriend has decided to leave Poland to live in the U.S. If he doesn't act quickly, he may never see her again.

Plot

Marcin and Kaska are young lovers in a lousy little town in Poland. Marcin has just lost his father and is sadly preparing to take over the small auto mechanic business and the house. But Kaska has an opportunity to go study in the U.S. and is planning to leave. Marcin is devastated, but his loony relatives arrive for the funeral and things go into flux. The post-funeral banquet makes for a crazy and emotional climax to the story.
