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 Krysztof Komeda. Embracing a style similar to the contemporaneous French New Wave, this is a vivid portrait of disillusioned youth. Co-written by filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski (EO) early in his career.

"The film serves as a fascinating document of Polish youth culture during the least repressive years of the communist era, as well as a rough draft for the freewheeling comedies (co-writer) Skolimowski would soon direct himself."
"Bazyli and his jazz band buddies seem to have modeled their coolness — and its accompanying thoughtless mistreatment of women — on distant, dimly glimpsed American hipster models."
