a telefilm by Nicole van Kilsdonk,
produced by SNG Film in coproduction with KRO television

Nomination Press AwardNederlands Filmfestival 2002

Traffic jams are a daily recurring subject in politics and especially in the lives of many. Just recently one could read about the increase in the amount of kilometers made daily. In the last years automobilists have automatically taken waiting in traffic jams into account and have found their own ways to kill time. 

POLONAISE is about waiting in traffic jams and in life. Not only do cars get stuck, but so do the relationships of the people in the cars. Polonaise is a comical film with dramatic undertones, in which everyone can find some recognition.
