"Zaklete rewiry" is a Polish movie from 1975 that portrays the underworld of the city of Poznań in post-World War II Poland. Directed by Janusz Majewski, the film stars Marek Kondrat, Roman Wilhelmi, and Roman Skamene in leading roles. The movie starts with a series of burglaries happening in the city. The police are at their wit's end to catch the burglars. The burglars are a group of young men who are always a step ahead of the police. We come to know that the leader of the burglars is a former prisoner named Konstanty "Kostek" Nowak (played by Marek Kondrat). The gang uses the newly gained wealth to enjoy a care-free life while the police are left to ponder their next move.

Kostek is the most interesting character in the movie. He is a charming and charismatic leader. His gang is made up of boys who are mostly from impoverished families. Kostek is a father figure to these boys. He has a heart of gold and a criminal mind. In one scene, he is seen helping out an elderly blind man who is stranded on the road. In another scene, he brings his gang to a children's hospital to distribute gifts. These scenes show the humane side of Kostek, despite his criminal tendencies.

The movie also portrays the lives of people who live in the so-called "locked" or "sealed off" neighborhoods of Poznań. The title of the movie, "Zaklete rewiry" in Polish means "locked neighborhoods." These neighborhoods are areas that are under intense police surveillance due to their high crime rates. Life in these neighborhoods is shown to be difficult, with people barely making ends meet.

The movie shows the contrast between the lives of the rich and the poor. While the wealthy enjoy a luxurious life, the poor struggle to survive. The frequent use of real locations in Poznań helps to create a realistic atmosphere in the movie.

The plot of the movie revolves around a series of heists being committed by Kostek and his gang. At the same time, the police are trying to catch them. The cops are convinced that they can catch the thieves if they can find out where they hide their loot. They are desperate to find the hiding place, and they go to great lengths to catch the burglars.

The climax of the movie is intense and thrilling. Kostek and his gang are cornered by the cops, and a tense standoff ensues. The police try to negotiate with Kostek, but he refuses to give up without a fight. What follows is a thrilling and action-packed sequence that will leave the viewer on the edge of their seat.

Overall, "Zaklete rewiry" is a well-crafted movie that portrays the criminal underworld in post-war Poland.
