Old railwayman Rumsza won't accept the marriage of his son, who returns from the war with a pregnant woman. This psychological drama is an outstanding manifesto of artistic freedom, which was the first in Poland to refuse the doctrine of socialist realism. Still, it doesn't belong among the iconic works of the 'Polish school'. (Summer Film School)
