Kieslowski’s first feature-length film is ostensibly about the theater’s anonymous backstage workers: the tailors, painters, modelers. They are creative individuals devoted to their work and vital to a theater’s success. But given the traditional cult of the actor, these craftsmen are underestimated by actors and audience alike. The film’s protagonist, Romek, is a student at a theater technical college. A sensitive young man fascinated by the magic of theatrical art, he finds his first job in the tailoring workshop of the opera. Quickly confronted with the reality behind the scenes - the bickering, petty jealousies, vindictiveness and corruption - his illusions are shattered. His elder colleague, the tailor Sowa, finds himself targeted by an hysterical actor, and socio-political organizations in the theater want to use Romek against Sowa. Kieslowski’s made-for-television microcosm of the society at large, and an early exploration of moral choice in the workplace.

other title: 砖匠 / Bricklayer
A bit of color for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story concerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Party deals with people, especially their lack of direct contact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is uncomfortable with the compromises to his idealism. He remains committed to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his comfort and confidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overcoats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.
