Nothing Funny (Polish: Nic śmiesznego) is a 1995 Polish tragicomedy film directed by Marek Koterski.[2][3][4][5][6] It is the fourth in a nine-part series of films about the character Adaś Miauczyński, created by Koterski. Each story showcases a different aspect or era of his life, often with little continuity between them.
In this period of his life, Adaś Miauczyński is a bumbling film director. A graduate of the Łódź Film School, Miauczyński feels professionally and personally unfulfilled. His career path has been marked by failure, and his first film is a flop. His continued search for the woman of his life proves futile, something he is reminded of each time his colleague Maciej sleeps with a woman Miauczyński goes on a date with. When his ex-wife, Beata, with whom he still lives but who despises him, together with their daughter, orchestrates a mock kidnapping and execution, Miauczyński suffers a fatal heart attack. The story is presented from the perspective of his corpse lying on a table at the morgue, "reminiscing" about his life.
