Yesterday in Fact

The film, written by Leopold Tyrmand (based on his own novel, confiscated by the censors in Poland, entitled ”Siedem dalekich rejsów”), takes place in two dimensions of time: today and a few years earlier. The history of two people meeting. Once in Darłów, near the sea, they were united and divided by a mysterious triptych of King Erik, which could have been the beginning of deep feelings. The get-together in Warsaw is only a painful recollection for the man. Once she rejected his love, now he rejects the love of another woman. The surroundings of a deserted harbour town, a bit dreamlike interiors create a poetic atmosphere of mutual infatuation contrasting with the reality of Warsaw reunion.
