What happens

Szczęśliwego Nowego Jorku (lit. 'Happy New York', also titled as 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New York') is a 1997 Polish comedy film directed by Janusz Zaorski. It is a film about six Polish immigrants in New York City unsuccessfully trying to cope with the realities of New York. The film was inspired by the novel Szczuropolacy (lit. 'Rat-Poles') of Polish writer Edward Redliński, who also adapted it into a drama Cud na Greenpoincie ('Miracle in Greenpoint'). It was a box office hit in Poland and has been described as one of Zaorski's best known films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
