Maybe you have to be Polish to understand all the nuances.Why does the woman leave the man in Paris,particularly as she knows he will come after her.He does and is put inside for 15 years.When he comes out after 5 years they meet up and I presume that they go off and enter into a suicide pact.Wouldn't it have been helpful for non Polish audiences to have a lot more explanation.
