DESCRIPTION

An intellectually and aesthetically sophisticated cinematic dream that takes place simultaneously in two sets of time. Nowadays, a young doctor Jakub is going through a crisis of relations with his fiancée, Maria, and decides to desperately save his relationship. The second plot takes place in the middle of the nineteenth century at the manor house of the ailing heiress Elisabeth and the governess Maria taking care of her. In this film, full of surprising images, Grzegorzek seeks the truth about human relations and emotions: love and hatred, but also hope.
