SYNOPSIS:

If you could re-live a certain portion of your life, what decisions would have made differently knowing what you know now? That is the question posed to Zosia in Juliusz Machulski's How Much Does the Trojan Weigh?, a woman who wakes up on New Year's Day 2000 to find she has been transported back to Communist Poland 1987. As Zosia realizes her situation, she sets out to make sure her future isn't repeated exactly be re-rewriting her past. Her primary focus is to divorce her first husband, a goofy philanderer Darek, and find the true love of her life and future second husband Kuba. A touching and whimsical film, Machulski also pokes fun at the political and technological differences between 1987 and 2000 that point to the tremendous disparity between life under and post Communism.
