DO I STILL GET ON YOUR NERVES?

Monica and Mariusz are neighbors. They hate each other. They involve neighbors, and the police in their war. Until they meet by chance at the funeral of a mutual friend. That’s the way feelings are, they sometimes wake up unexpectedly, at the least expected moments, and they don’t want to settle into a simple pattern for anything.
