The Son

Lonely, old parents living on a small farm look forward to their son's visit. The man finally shows up one day, but he separates himself from his parents with a newspaper. Inadvertently, he drops a slice of bread. His father picks it up respectfully.

The Appeal

In a simple but powerful way, director Ryszard Czekala presents the horror that happened in Nazi concentration camps: prisoners’ dread, humiliation and lost humanity. Its directness and style is sometimes interpreted as a response to the trend of allegorical and philosophical filmmaking that dominated Polish animation in the 1960s.

Autopsy

Different shades of responsibility. A mother drowns her blind unhappy child. She wants to spare him the burden of being a cripple. She is absolved by a priest, but the police are waiting for her in front of the church.

Piętno

Józef comes to his hometown on the anniversary of the murder of his father - a peasant activist, and explores the circumstances of his death.
