User Reviews

So impressed that I bought the book "Polish for beginners" to learn the language

A SF Movie that was started in 1977 - as long as I know from a polish group of people that worked at the Arts Academy.

The project was then stopped due to problems. 10 years after, in 1987, somebody collected the original tapes which were about 75% of the script.

What you see is this tapes glued together. The other 25% you see somebody driving around in a polish city holding a handcam out of the window of the tramway or running around with it and a speaker is reading the corresponding part of the script.

It is a SF Movie that deals with Men and contact to other races, men land on an distinct planet. They live there. They leave their land to see what is behind the sea. They fight with the other race. They got sex with the other race. They get cruzified.

The basic in this movie is the Question "why?".

It is a low-cost production with very effective pictures, sometimes bizarr. 3SAT, a german cable television channel made german subtitles and aired it in about 1995. I was lucky to videotape it and looked for it since then in Search engines. 2004 is the first time that I found information on IMDB.
