Middle-aged actress Magdalena (Lidia Wysocka) returns to her home town for the first time in years to attend her grandfather’s funeral and receive her inheritance. But this inevitably involves dealing with people (including former suitors) who vividly remind her of why she left in the first place, and inheriting his house would only complicate matters. The only person she feels any affinity with is the much younger Olek (Władysław Kowalski), whom she meets by chance at the start, and who is both unconnected to her past and from a different generation. But is there any hope of a lasting connection?
Plus Harmonia (1947), Has’s solo directing debut, a short film about an impoverished boy’s dream of owning an accordion.
