Removals(2001)

Removals is a Polish historical series that chronicles the Szczygłów family's removal business across four decades, beginning on New Year's Eve 1899. With each job, something goes missing—and every episode pivots around the mystery of a lost object. The family's story unfolds against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Poland, tracing their lives and livelihood through periods of profound change. The first season spans from 1899 to 1941, capturing the era through the intimate lens of domestic upheaval and displacement. The series was conceived as an ambitious narrative arc stretching toward the year 2000, using the removal firm as a vehicle to explore how ordinary families navigate extraordinary times.
