Escape ... shows the picture of the provincial Gomułka reality of the 1960s. The plot, as in Mrożek, presents a completely absurd situation: three boys from a small town in the north - Fat, Skinny and Medium - accompanied by an intelligent ape-man from Sumatra, dressed in a Cracovian costume , travels through Warsaw, Krakow and Zakopane to the south of Poland, fleeing from the threatening and demonic Mephisto Kovalsky. Scenes watched along the way - a smoky chimney, to which no factory was built; small-town zoo, where, due to budget savings, the boar must pretend to be a pig, covered with a shoe polish, enclosed in a cage; melting in the Vistula children's left-foot shoes, whose further production guarantees bonuses for constantly crossing the plan - caricature monuments of the ideology of those times, distinct symbols of the PRL, which may already arouse disbelief, although some features of Mrożkowskie heroes can be recognized also in the inhabitants of post-transformation Poland .
