Short synopsis:

George the Hedgehog loves women, skateboarding and beer. One day he becomes a key point in the master plan of a genetic manipulations freak. The crazy scientist hires two dim-witted skinheads, Zenek and Stefan, to get a hold of George's genes. After some secret laboratory work the hedgehog's clone is born and quickly becomes a media star, which severely complicates George's life and ruins his reputation. The hedgehog fights back for his identity and above all, the beloved Jola. 

 

Why this comedy matters:
Our film for fans of SOUTH PARK and REN & STIMPY! In the lead role: a crazy hedgehog who likes beer, skateboards and boobs – his opponent: the hedgehog's clone who becomes a superstar with gross-out jokes and obscene public appearances. Once you get into the daring style and the bold humor of the film, JEŻ JERZY emerges as a refreshing satire which portrays the political and social realities of Polish everyday life without any compromises. Starring Michael Jackson himself and only for adults.

  

Festivals: Crystal Palace International Film Festival London, Bram Stoker Film Festival
