A midlife crisis, a Polish girl, and a plane hijacking—1970s Europe was unhinged.
A 40-year-old architect begins to doubt his role as a father in a world sliding into decadence. When he meets a young Polish girl he runs off with her to Rhodes. His psycho-moralistic angst is presented in a series of flashbacks when the hijack of his airplane forces him to take stock of his life.
Cinematography
Rhodes looks gorgeous, shame about the colonial gaze.
Acting
Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak deserved better than 'Pools meisje'.
Director
Emile Degelin
