Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • In Polish — subtitles on.

The story

Zofia, a professor of ethics, is visited by Elżbieta, an American researching the fate of Jews who survived World War II. A daytime classroom conversation turns into a night of confrontation, and Zofia is forced to answer for a decision she made decades ago that directly affected the course of Elżbieta’s life.

The look

A few frames, chosen rather than collected.
