Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ranczo became Poland's longest-running comedy, capturing post-EU accession anxieties about rural identity versus urban aspiration.
The fictional Wilkowyje was filmed in Jeruzal, which became a tourist destination so popular locals had to manage 'Ranczo pilgrims.'
