"The Name" is a French play whose screen adaptation attracted a record number of viewers to movie theaters. The film, made in 2013, received two Césars and three nominations (including for Best Adapted Screenplay). Well-written, witty dialogues and vivid characters are the comedic strengths of "The Name," a play that is also not devoid of reflection.
The performance of "The Name," produced in 2016, is now considered one of the best Polish productions. The action takes place over the course of one evening during a dinner hosted by literature professor Pierre (Szymon Bobrowski) and his wife Elisabeth (Małgorzata Foremniak) in their Parisian apartment. The invited guests include the household friend, trombonist Claude (Marcin Hycnar / Mateusz Banasiuk), Elisabeth's brother, brilliant entrepreneur Vincent (Wojciech Malajkat), and his much younger, pregnant partner Anna (Dorota Krempa). In this group, the course of the meeting seemed perfectly predictable. However, this time, typical minor quarrels will turn into a real battle. And the whole commotion will be triggered by a seemingly innocent question: Do you have any idea for a name yet?
