- Synopsis:
Two talented physicists - Jan (Jan Myslowicz) leaves the city for the countryside and works as a meteorologist in a small village, Marek (Andrzej Zarnecki), a promising scientist with a dazzling career in science, trieslo persuade Jan to return to the University. Unexpectedly, Marek's suggestions meet with strong resistance. The film pictures two life strategies. One is to use one's intellect to the utmost, a thrilling path that leads to wealth and respect; the other is to consciously seek the meaning of existence in rejecting all amenities of civilization. Jan gets immersed in a simple life, and submits to the passing of time that enables him to sustain a harmony between his own existence and the nature. Marek fails to comprehend why a talented physicist would seek refuge in the countryside. The director seems to incline towards Jan's position. Zanussi's debut film seems particularly mature and original, both in the intellectual and the visual plane. The film was awarded at the IFF in Mar del Plata, IFF in Valladolid, and IFF in Panama. - Actors:
