Wearing its influence from old-school Hollywood romantic comedies on its sleeve, Polish director Maciej Zak's Rozmowy Noca (Midnight Talks) charts the seriocomic vicissitudes in the relationship between two culinary personnel. Magdalena Rozczka stars as Matylda, an eccentric and hopelessly single baker who spends her days making angels out of salt dough. Feeling an internal sense of deep dissatisfaction, she attempts to fulfill her longings by conceiving a child with the able assistance of a sperm donor (whom she locates via a classified ad in the local paper). In time, Bartek (Marcin Dorocinski) responds - a handsome donor whose occupation as a chef cleanly meshes with that of Matylda. Lo and behold, even though both 'partners' vow to keep the relationship strictly professional, in time romantic feelings begin to blossom and they find themselves hopelessly involved.
