Black Comedy Farce Satire Subject: Arab-Israeli Conflict Army Human Soul Politics and Government War Text in: he English Polish	PFFFFFF is a dark farce that tells the story of the Dolphin submarine, floating somewhere in the depths of the Persian Gulf. Its commander has decided to take matters into his own hands and to once and for all bring peace to the Middle East. Meanwhile, Israel’s top politicians and security personnel gather in a desperate attempt to stop the imminent nuclear holocaust. But when it shows no signs of remorse all that’s left to do is prepare for the worst – and perhaps even fall in love with it. Inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove” and Sidney Lumet’s “Fail Safe”.
