Try to move rewrites to specila location:

location ^~ /user/ {
rewrite ^/user/(.*)/moje.([0-9]+).html$
/moje.html?u=$1&showpage=$2 last;
...
}

Also, it's better to use try_files instead of

if (!-f $request-filename) { return 404; break; }

as here:

location ~ \.html$ {
try_files $uri /404.html;
...
}

location = /404.html {
root /path/to/files;
}
