华美夜晚，宽敞考究的宅邸内，优美曼妙的钢琴旋律悠然响起，宛若一股清泉流过心田。镜头前，一位美丽端庄的夫人（娜塔莉·波特曼 Natalie Portman 饰）端坐在梳妆台前，优雅自在地梳理着她那卷曲的秀发。这时，身着黑衣的女人（米歇尔·威廉姆斯 Michelle Williams 饰）推门而入，她不发一言，分外疲惫，沉沉地坐在梳头女子的身后，叹了一口气，将头靠在对方的肩头。突然，黑衣女好像嗅到了什么，随即将目光锁定在梳妆台上的一尊香水瓶。她将瓶子拿起端详，却很快被梳头女子抢了过去。钢琴演奏并未停止，但两个女人却为了这瓶香水展开激烈的争夺……

Youths get ready for a party, decorating the dance floor, cleaning out the fountain of a pond. That evening, the party starts and guests arrive: everyone has a ticket, and a guy at the gate, wearing a formal shirt, tails, and shorts, makes sure only those with tickets gain entrance. Some are in costume, some dressed informally, some in fancy clothes: everyone is there to have a good time. A group of tough-looking guys watch through the high fence while the band plays jazzy rock and couples dance or kiss. With the party in full swing, as the band plays "When the Saints Go Marching In," over the wall comes the gang. Is there any chance they'll join in the festivities?

The Short Films of Roman Polanski -
(1957) Morderstwo (A Murderer)
The camera shows us a door handle and the door's striker plate; from this angle, they form a cross. The door opens and in steps someone in a dark trench coat. He approaches a bed in the room, where a shirtless man sleeps. The intruder takes out a knife. His movements are without haste, but deliberate and efficient. Will his sleeping victim awake in time to offer resistance?
