Three-part film centered around a film being made by a group of young directors. In the first a working-class girl finishes school and has her first love affair, which ends badly. In the second a provincial boy with dreams of life in the theater has an affair with his boss' wife. They meet during the film's screen tests.
Direction
Three distinct voices somehow cohere into one melancholy vision.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Poland's 'cinema of moral anxiety' movement, though Holland's segment leans more romantic than political.
Agnieszka Holland would later become the most internationally celebrated of the three directors, with Oscar nominations for Europa Europa and In Darkness.
