Praga Farewells: A Big Stall (1977)
A documentary focused on the legendary Różycki bazaar in Praga. In archival photos and recordings, we see the predecessor of the Różycki bazaar, the pre-war Kercelak. It changes into the post-war Różycki almost imperceptibly. The melody of market talks is enhanced by the sound of an accordion, played by the Gypsy Orchestra of the Hućko brothers. A stunning wealth of goods: from carrier pigeons to laying hens and stuffed ornamental birds. On the wall, depending on your taste, oil paintings in golden frames or embroidered tapestries. Life problems? A horoscope is the answer. Are you sick? There is a healer here. Hunger? We’ve got the famous Praga tripe and hot dumplings with some lard in a jar.
