Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during the Gierek era, the film subtly critiques how communist bureaucracy crushed individual ambition—Marek's stolen project mirrors countless real intellectual property thefts.
Piotrowski never directed another feature after this; some speculate the film's bleak tone made him unemployable in state-controlled cinema.
