Szyfry

A father searches for his missing son as a way of reconnecting with his estranged wife and son. He has become rather wealthy and affluent due to business dealings abroad but at what cost? His remaining son makes do with being a taxi driver and taking care of his ill mother. He cannot seem to fathom how his son has become the way he has and wants to find easy answers that cannot be grasped at. He must come to terms with what he has left behind and what his family have had to deal with in that space of time.

Only Wojciech Has could make a film like this. That grasped at the complexities of warfare but from a psychological frame of mind rather than the battlefields. This is a film that takes a look at people on the sidelines looking on and the damage that it has done for them, the bit-part players and the fading memories that live on within them.
