Mateusz film debut in 2021 was “The Getaway King” (“Najmro” – is a Polish title) an action crime comedy set in the last days of communism in Poland and tells the story inspired by the life of Zdzisław Najmrodzki (starring Dawid Ogrodnik), who escaped cops 29 times, and became a record holder on that field.
