Plot
A factory worker takes up filming and it changes his life.
Sinekatalog’s take
Krzysztof Kieślowski's comedy-drama follows a factory worker whose home movies reshape his life. Warm, funny and political, with Jerzy Stuhr superb, it is a charming study of art, truth and censorship.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
