[music drops out, funky beat picks up]
Miss Zofia! Please come in here.
Yes, Mr. Dean, sir?
Miss Zofia…
my school has a brothel!
-[siren blaring] -[woman moaning]
[opening theme music playing]
[Paulina] I borrowed your things, by the way.
And sorry, but I better get going.
Mariusz is already mad at me.
-[Mariusz] I'm not mad at you. -[gasps]
[Paulina] What are you doing here?
I wanted to check where you are. I'm worried.
But we were texting.
If you don't want to live with me, I'm not going to force you.
Oh, Mariusz, it's not that.
I don't know what it is.
-[sighs] -I don't.
All the information I get is fragmented
and you want me to understand what's going on based on that?
You know I don't want that.
-I'd rather hear your side of the story. -[gasps]
-Let's go to the flat then. -I can't. I have to get back to my class.
Okay. We'll talk later at home.
But do you really want to talk, or just because it's the right thing to do?
-Natalia made me got to a party… -[Mariusz] No.
-Yes. -No.
-[Paulina] Then my parents came here and-- -No.
Natalia, she didn't make you go anywhere. You went because you wanted to.
[melancholy music playing]
[sighs] When-- when you decide what you really want,
just let me know.
You do know these creams have the same ingredients?
No. One's your body, one's your face at night and one's in the morning.
Have you read the labels?
-I can't read. Didn't you know that? -[Natalia laughs]
Try it.
That's enough. I'm running out.
Rub that in.
Doesn't it feel good?
Like I'm smearing my hands with a--
Dough?
Mm-hmm.
So I have my creams, you have smarts.
First off, you undervalue yourself.
Secondly, nowadays having a brain won't get you very far.
You say it, but you don't really believe it.
I'll stand and look pretty, and you do the talking, okay?
All right. Now we've gotta get going.
-I hate being in a hurry. -Yeah, me too.
That's why I always leave early, so I don't have to hurry.
Does your drink taste like dough, too?
No, it tastes just like a sunrise over a Sicilian beach.
Something wrong?
No. It was nothing.
Something wrong with Adam?
-Something's wrong with me. Just-- -Don't ever say that.
-What? Why not? -Because you'll believe it.
Easy for you to say. When you offer…
you ask guys to have, uh, well…
[funky beat playing]
You…
Uh, you know.
Damn it.
I just mean, you offer sex, you can get it. It works.
For me, it isn't working because there's something wrong.
You offered him sex?
Well, yeah.
It was nice. We were kissing…
So then I showed him our app because I was ready for penetration.
Hold on. Those were your exact words? That you were ready for penetration?
Yes. Something like that.
-Fucking hell, Natalia. -Well, I didn't know what to say to him.
Nothing! It's supposed to happen by itself. You just know.
-How? -You-- You just feel it.
Well, I totally felt it, but apparently, he didn't because when I offered him…
sex, he just left the room.
What you offered him was penetration.
You invited him to copulate and to test the app.
It wasn't sex.
-I need to know if the app is working. -Listen.
Go and talk to him. Tell him you were sick.
I don't know, you got food poisoning or the eggs were bad or something.
You have to fix this.
I need you in fighting form and right now, you're an emotional wreck.
-We're supposed to give a report. -Let me handle it.
-Our app is more important. -It's not.
Go.
[typing]
Hey. Is he here?
Adam!
Why did you disappear from the party?
Paulina had enough.
I'd say that she was just getting started.
And I'd say you shouldn't have given her drugs.
Why's that? Are you jealous?
I'll be keeping an eye on you.
[heavy beat playing]
Hi.
-Hey. -And I on you.
[gentle music playing]
Is everything with us okay?
Yeah.
Is it really?
[sighs] Um…
No.
[sighs]
It all came out wrong.
I wanted to test the app because we're close to the deadline.
I'm not sure if the thing I've been working on makes sense and if it's good--
Of course it is.
But not for me.
Why?
[Adam chuckles]
My phone's been broken for a year now. And I have slow internet.
-Uh-huh? -I mean…
I like to get to know people at my own pace.
Guess I like to take it slow.
That's how we're different.
I get it.
You are more retro.
And you are more…
the new generation.
Well, if you want to…
if you want to see me again, I'll be in my dorm room.
Okay.
MOMMY
[phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
[Paulina] Hi, Mom.
Are you under the influence?
-Of what? -What you took on Easter.
[sighs] No. And if you called just to tell me off,
let's talk some other time because I can't handle it now.
You-- You're living with Mariusz.
Yeah.
Disappointing.
You lied to me about where you live, and now you're-- you're partying.
And I can't understand what's gotten into you.
You don't understand because I'm not you.
-What? -I have different plans for my life.
Have you thought about that?
-What plans? -I don't know yet.
But when I find out…
-I certainly won't tell you. -[phone clicks]
[sighs]
I wanna remind you that the national contest finals
at the Ministry of Digitization are starting tomorrow.
We have to pick the best project. I was thinking that it'd be best
if we picked our representatives by taking a vote.
Uh, two teams will present their projects.
All of you will send me an email containing your full name
and your two votes for the projects.
In the morning, we'll announce the winner.
-Is that clear? -[all] Yes.
[Dr. Krynicki] Super. Who wants to start, please?
Natalia?
Natalia's on her way now, and without her, it's just… [sighs]
[sighs] Uh, understood. Nanogel.
[funky beat playing]
[man] Yes. That's the case.
Natalia Dymała?
Dumała.
Excellent.
-My office, please, miss. Have a good day. -You too.
[applause]
APPLICATION
-[whistling] -Thank you.
Well, that's definitely a very pretty animation.
Glad you think so, doctor. Thank you.
So I take it, sir, that we don't need to take a vote anymore.
You'll recommend it then? The project?
Huh. Should I really?
-We have the best presentation. -[Dr. Krynicki] Is your project the best?
You saw it yourself.
Rafał, I'm not easy to fool.
I know the stiff necks at the ministry
look only at covers and don't bother to peak inside, but luckily, you got me.
-So, does it work? -Um…
You asked, so…
for the moment, uh, given my limited resources--
No, ours.
I meant to say our limited resources,
we can use light to change the gel's color.
At the moment, it works like a photo filter,
which can be used to change the color of your hair .
Except that this works in real life. [laughs]
When I use a flash lamp,
-[camera clicks] -the color is changing. For real.
[laughter]
[booing]
[continued laughter]
Working?
All right. Uh, Natalia?
I get it. Monika, you're up.
[sighs]
[dean] Do you know why I asked you here?
Not really. Is it app stuff?
Is it my scholarship? I'm kinda late for class now.
[sighs] Recognize this?
[funky beat playing]
Where'd that come from?
I got them…
as solid proof that you've been running a prostitution ring in your room.
-For students, no less. -No, it's not that.
[dean] Mm-hmm. So, you're not running a prostitution ring?
I was, but I wasn't, though.
How do you understand "running", anyway?
And how exactly do you understand "I was, but I wasn't?"
I was doing research for a project for the end of term.
Uh, what area, pray tell?
[inhales] Interpersonal relationships.
Well, that much I can see. What exactly are you researching?
It's research for, uh, graduation.
-[dean] Who's supervising? -Dr. Krynicki.
Oh.
What are you still doing here?
I need to explain. There's a lot that you don't know about--
I know everything.
I'll set up a special committee
that will perform an inspection at the dormitory.
If the investigation proves that the room was used for, uh…
[clears throat] other means than habitation,
we'll seriously have to rethink your future at this university.
[beat intensifies]
[Monika] It works like a map or a guide.
It requires trust and the willingness to have fun from both parties,
but also, the app can take sex to another level.
But who, uh, who needs this, anyway?
You, in particular, could benefit.
[laughter]
But seriously though, just like Facebook changed the way people interact socially,
allowing every nerd-- I'm sorry, introvert,
to have a rich social life on the internet,
our sex app can give you a fulfilling sex life in real life as well.
[applause]
All right, that's enough for today.
-You know the details… -Did I do well?
-You're great. Now we have to go. -You don't want to talk to Krynicki?
Dean saw Copulation Station. He knows about it.
We're fucked.

[Joanna] Paulina, what are you doing here?
I'm here 'cause…
I can't visit anymore.
Hmm. And why not?
Well…
I need to focus on studying.
Okay.
You're the one who knows what's best.
Okay. Thank you.
I'm going to Wilanów. I have classes there. Need a lift?
[Joanna] Come.
♪ Oh la la We're screwed ♪
Ms. Concierge?
-Yes? -One question.
It's possible that someone might be asking about our room.
I don't know if you'd agree, but nothing special happened there, right?
Except that sex dungeon?
So, you knew?
I know everything.
I am the whole dorm.
Can we count on you to help us out here?
Even if the Dean gets involved?
I don't know.
Let me think.
[Monika] You both have to be here for inspection, okay?
You have to stay cool and convince yourself
that nothing iffy ever happened here, all right?
-Okay! What do they want? -Nothing, because nothing happened.
-Easy for you to say. It's not your room. -It's gonna be fine. Hear me?
Is it open?
-No. -No, and it might be closed for good,
so find a different place.
If they ask you about Copulation Station don't rat us out, okay?
-And who's gonna ask? -The dean.
-[woman] Why's that? -What's the difference?
The Copulation Station doesn't exist and never did, okay?
-[sighs] Five hundred zlotys. -[Monika] Are you kidding me?
[woman] Six hundred?
Fuck off!
Suit yourselves.
Wait a sec.
Five hundred. Keep your mouth shut.
We need to find out who turned us in.
-I'm not leaving school like this. -All right.
Ciao, bella.
I wanted to thank you, ma'am.
Joanna.
What do you need to thank me for?
For what you said, well…
when you told me, uh, my energy's being blocked.
Finding the problem is one thing, solving it is another.
-So, how do I solve it? -Hmm.
It requires a bit of effort and sometimes it won't work.
For example, I can't communicate with Monika.
I can talk to her for you.
[scoffs] No.
I have to do it myself.
Paulinka, where should I drop you off?
[phone rings]
Mm, right here is okay.
[Joanna] Hmm.
[beat building]
[phone beeps]
Well, it's too bad we won't be able to continue with our sessions.
You don't have to do anything and you can do everything.
Just remember that.
Everything.
[funky beat rising]
-What was that for? -Jesus, I'm sorry.
[seat belt clicks]
Thank you.
God bless.
And Mary the Virgin.
It's been a month since I've had my last-- my confession.
I have repented for all my sins
But almost instantly, I have sinned again against our Lord in the following ways…
Is everything all right?
No, it's not, Father.
I fear nothing is all right.
Do you have a reminder on your phone to call me each time I'm in church?
[Natalia] What? No.
-The dean knows about our dorm. -What? How could he?
-How may I help you, madam? -Huh?
Not sure if you still work here or just randomly coming in for IT support?
Actually, I need help.
So, how may I help you, madam?
Can you hack into the school's mail server?
That will cost you.
I'll pay you. I'll work it off. I don't know. Will you help?
What is it you need?
Correspondence of the dean. Official.
Back in my day, things like that were illegal.
The dean knows about Copulation Station and wants me expelled.
Oh, that's great. Now you might show up.
[alert blares]
-[Jabba] Here you go. -It goes that quickly?
You know the password?
Times might change.
Dean's secretaries change,
but logins and passwords for university servers are eternal.
Jabba, you're a dangerous man, you know that?
I know.
COPYING FILES…
But don't tell anyone.
[beat building]
[Natalia] I don't know who did this.
Who would want to terminate you?
[door opens]
So this is the famous…
room 69.
The stuff of…
whispers, murmurs, anecdotes…
and gasps of excitement.
Sixty-nine. What a number.
Metaphysical.
Divine.
But what took place here is rather in the domain of…
profane, right?
Nothing bad happened here, Mr. Dean, sir.
Natalia Dumała and Paulina Malinowska.
-I'm Monika Nowicka. -I know who you are.
Of course, ma'am. Paulina's not here. I'm just their neighbor.
[sighs] Please get out.
So, you're saying then, I think this isn't the room?
Mr. Dean, this dormitory has 100 rooms,
of those, 25 percent have a layout which is identical to this one.
This might have been in any of the 25 other rooms.
All right, then.
We'll ask around and get the truth.
[sighs]
♪ Breathe ♪
[music building]
Someone photographed my room from here? Who?
No one here.
I was alone.
Playing a game.
-You're alone? -[Grześ] Yeah.
No.
Wait, this one guy, a senior, he was in here.
Paweł.
Rafał.
Uh, yeah, something like that.
But aren't you his roommate?
Huh?
And on the project, you're on his team!
Gel!
Oh, gel.
No, right.
I knew I remembered him from somewhere.
Paweł.
[dean] Do you know which security camera shows the entrance to room 69?
-[concierge] None of the cameras, Dean. -[woman] What do you mean?
[concierge] The surveillance system broke down.
I mean, the cameras are fine, but they don't record.
Why-- Why didn't you report it?
Mm, what for, sir?
I sit here all the time and I see everything.
[grunts] So, there are no recordings at all of what was going on
in the vicinity of the room 69, then?
What do you think was going on?
Please inform every student that we would like to talk to them.
-The common room. -Okay.
[door slams]
-Who ratted us out? -Don't know.
-Other girls? -Natalia's on the case.
It must've been one of the girls. Half the dormitory was meeting here.
How can you be sure?
Well, who else?
Don't know. Maybe you.
What?
[Monika] Well, I don't know.
You didn't like the project from the start.
You had doubts all along, but you're afraid to tell Natalia.
Maybe you wanted the project to get shut down. I don't know.
-You have a problem with me? -[Monika] What?
You don't like that I have values.
What? Gimme a break with that value crap.
You're lying to your man and now you're all about values?
Then maybe it was you.
Yeah? Why's that?
I don't know, fun maybe? It's all fun and games to you, right?
-You must have a problem with me. That it? -And who doesn't?
-What? -[Monika] Nothing.
Who said something about me?
Joanna.
-You've been talking to my mom about me? -[Paulina] No.
-No? -[Paulina] I didn't. She told me herself.
-What? -Jesus, it's that important?
-Tell me what she told you! -That she can't get through to you!
Let me get through to her!
-It's not her fault! -[Monika] No?
[door slams]
[beat thumping]
You, you and you!
Come in, please.
He's creepy. He took pictures from an air duct.
-What for? -He's doing a competing project.
-What did we ever do to him? -No, it's my fault.
-You said there'd be no trouble. -There won't be trouble.
Well, there is.
Relax. I'll handle it, Paulina.
Yeah?
Yeah.
-I'm going out. Wanna come? -No.
You should go out sometimes. It's healthy.
You're my older sister, not my mother.
Is everything okay?
-Yeah. -Is this about your girlfriend?
She's not my girlfriend.
-I've told you to stay out of it. -I am staying out of it. It's just--
I think she's all right.
She's a little weird, you're a little weird,
-There's a vibe. -Get screwed.
[Lilith] I'm planning to!
[door opens]
[door shuts]
[romantic music playing]
Next up, please!
[door creaks open]
-Good evening. -Have you ever been to room 69?
Have you ever been to room 69?
I know nothing about it.
-Which room? -Mm-mm.
-No. -Next up, please!
Goodbye.
-Is that all? -Thank you, that's all.
-Thank you, sir. -Nothing at all.
Kowalski?
-You know nothing? -Uh, no.
The thing I know about that…
…Marek lives there. And sometimes Małgosia, but, uh…
Next up then. What's your name?
I'm Erasmus.
Have you ever been to room 69 or used the bed there?
Yes. I'm Erasmus.
Have you been to room 69, or not?
Next up, please.
-May I? -Yes, please if…
Okay, thank you.
So, maybe you're the one to shed light on the subject.
That depends, sir.
On what now?
I have a problem with passing gym class.
[clearing throat]
-[Joanna] Hello. -Hi.
Did you talk about me with Paulina?
-With who? -With Paulina.
You told her you can't get through to me.
-May I drink some of my coffee first? -Sure.
Double espresso, please.
You told her you couldn't get through to me.
Yes, I said that.
Fantastic. How are you trying to do that?
How are you trying to get through to me?
Here. It's for your apartment.
Your father doesn't have a say in this.
Thanks. I'll manage.
Here. You might change your mind.
Aside from the photo evidence, I have a bunch of signed testimonies from people
who have participated in the unseemly activities
undertaken in room 69.
There were no unseemly acts.
That is for the committee to ultimately decide.
Well, this is a first in my career.
I know the world is evolving.
Who knows, maybe next time, it'll be a meth lab in the basement.
What?
A drug operation.
-Oh. -That's what they say these days.
Tomorrow, you'll be given the school's official statement on the matter.
In my office.
What could happen?
Being expelled from the university.
Effective immediately.
[beat quickens]
-Know who did it? -Yeah, so what.
It doesn't matter anyway.
Yeah, you're right there. It'll blow over.
We'll get blown over. Expelled from school.
-Yeah, we might, what's the deal? -[Natalia] "What's the deal?"
[Monika] If not this school, we'll find another.
You don't know what you're saying.
Listen. This can all be fixed.
For you, it can be.
What?
I've been working very hard for four years to graduate from this university,
-and you're telling me it's stupid. -I never said that.
Yes, you did.
I wanted to cheer you up.
-You failed miserably. -[Monika] No need to be sad.
Try looking at it from my perspective here.
No.
Why not?
Because we are not some kind of spoiled princesses like…
No, say it.
Like you.
Wow.
I'm done.
Don't worry, we'll do fine without you.
Yeah, I'm sure.
[beat building]
-[Paulina] It's over. -What?
You won't come up with anything.
-I always think of something. -Yeah?
-Do it without me this time. -What's going on?
I don't know.
I don't know what's up with me, but I won't find out here.
Hey, don't go.
Why'd you drag me into this?
What?
-You're the one who came to me. -Because you asked me.
-You did it out of your own free will. -I did it for you, Natalia.
So, it's all my fault, then?
Well, not mine.
Of course. Nothing is ever your fault, you know?
I'm the reason you have problems with Mariusz and with the school now.
It's Mariusz's fault you have problems with your parents.
And your parents are to blame for the flat.
You're a saint, an innocent.
Be careful, or you'll cross the line.
A saint and better than everyone.
Well, get a grip.
It's your life and your decisions.
[door slams]
[Natalia] Paulina!
[funky beat rising]
What do you want now?
-[Rafał groans] -[laughter]
Ouch!
[woman] This one looks healthy.
-[crowd murmur] -[jazzy music playing]
[man] Ciao, bella.
Bella!
Maybe a drink?
[beat thumping]
[knocking]
Wait right here.
Oh, it's you.
It's me. [laughs]
What are you doing here?
You said I could drop by anytime, so here I am.
I've got a present.
Hmm, that's nice.
I'm sorry. I just wasn't feeling well and was about to lie down.
Oh.
Okay. I understand.
Maybe another time.
Leave.
Allora.
See you later.
