"VHS" tells the story of a man whose fate becomes intertwined with the social and economic transformations of Poland in the 1980s and 1990s. The protagonist decides to take control of his destiny: he uses a VCR stolen from cargo bound for the West and pirated VHS tapes to organize screenings of foreign films in fire stations and rural community centres.
