Early in her career, Agnieszka Holland collaborated with Jerzy Domaradzki and Pawel Kedzierski on this self-reflexive three-parter about a pair of young actors trying to make it in three different films. The first segment tells the story of Anka's (Daria Trafankowska) graduation from school, her romance with a boy, and her first screen tests. The next portion is dedicated to Pawel (Andrzej Pieczynski), who dreams of acting and has an affair with an older woman. When she refuses to leave her husband for another empty relationship, he learns a hard lesson about the nature of performance. In the final part, both Anka and Pawel meet while waiting to audition for the same film. Afterwards they make love and return for round two of casting, when Pawel discovers Anka was just using him to better her on-screen report. Funded by Andrzej Wajda's Production Unit "X." In Polish with English subtitles.
