Following his lauded war trilogy, Wajda turned his camera on Poland’s socially modern but politically disengaged post-war generation.

When hipster doctor Bazyli meets out-of-towner Pelagia in a nightclub, they spend a night in his flat flirting to the jazz tunes of Krzysztof Komeda. 

Embracing a style similar to the contemporaneous French New Wave, this is a vivid portrait of disillusioned youth.
