The Polish adaptation, written by Karolina Szymczyk-Majchrzak and directed by Filip Zylber, follows a single woman who enrols on a course to learn the do’s and don’ts of dating and ultimately find the perfect partner.

It will be released in cinemas in Poland on November 29 prior to its premiere on Polsat.
