Synopsis
Brodka roams through the deserted remains of Warsaw's former Fair Europe market, a place once known for its maze of stalls and Vietnamese food bars. Wearing an extraordinary costume assembled from objects associated with the bazaar, she moves through the night in a dreamlike, disjointed procession. The video treats the vanished marketplace as a half-remembered fantasy, blending its imagery with the song's playful references to Asian cuisine and nightlife.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video's concept was built around Fair Europe, a sprawling market near Warsaw's former Stadium X-lecia. The location had disappeared as the area gave way to new architectural development.
- Fair Europe was particularly associated with Vietnamese-run food stalls and small bars. The song's subject refers to the custom of ending a night out at the market with a bowl of pho.
- Brodka's striking costume incorporates objects connected with the market, including sneakers, textiles, chopsticks, and shopping bags.
- The entire video was filmed in a single night.
- Its imagery deliberately avoids a straightforward narrative. Instead, the filmmakers described it as an imperfect memory of a place that had already become mythologized after disappearing.
- "W pieciu smakach" was released in 2010 as part of the promotional campaign for Brodka's album "Granda," the record that marked a major change in her musical and visual identity.
- The video received nominations at the Fryderyk Awards and the Eska Music Awards. It also won a Yach award in the Best Actor/Actress category.
