Description: Based on the story by J. Iwaszkiewicz. Its account of two brothers buried in the solitude of a remote forest brought into focus one of Iwaszkiewicz's recurrent preoccupations : the theme of death, of life overshadowed by intimations of death. The only way, and at the same time, the most natural one, of standing up to death, the story and the film seem to say, lies in romantic and physical love.
Notes: With English subtitles.

Based on the novel by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz.

Director, A. Wąda.
