1974 film by Jerzy Passendorfer

Crime drama. One of the few films shot in Eastern Europe, affecting the subject of sexual maniacs. The main character - a lone man working truck driver, can not help but bring up a young girl whom he raped on the way. Once into his car and sat down with two schoolgirls tragedy repeated itself anew, but with a fatal outcome.

Set at the turn of the century, the story concerns a Polish poet living in Cracow who has decided to marry a peasant girl. The wedding is attended by a heterogenous group of people from all strata of Polish society, who dance, get drunk and lament Poland's 100-year-long division of Poland under Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The bridegroom, a painter friend, and a journalist each in turn is confronted with spectres of Polish past. In the end a call to arms is called but turns out to be a hoax.
