The famous Polish comedy series “Czterdziestolatek” (“The Forty-Year-Old”) portrays the life of Warsaw engineer Stefan Karwowski and his family. The title role was played by Andrzej Kopiczyński, and the series was created by Jerzy Gruza and Krzysztof Teodor Toeplitz.

Stefan and Magda Karwowscy, along with their children Jagoda and Marek, represent a typical Polish family of the 1970s, living in an apartment block in the center of Warsaw. Stefan works as an engineer, while his wife is employed at a hydrology institute. Together they face the everyday challenges of life in the People’s Republic of Poland.

Viewers also get a glimpse into the construction of major Warsaw landmarks of the era, as engineer Karwowski takes part in projects such as the Łazienkowska Route and the Central Railway Station.
