Brief synopsis:
di Krzysztof Kieslowski (Pol, 1977, 20') sab 5 h 16,35 - 23,05
The film deals with Warsaw orthopedic surgeons who work 32-hour shifts. The camera follows them in the operating theatre, the admittance room and in smoke-filled offices. We see them as they struggle with faulty equipment and overwhelming fatigue. The film, without any voice-over commentary, focuses on everyday hospital situations; the passage of time is carefully indicated every hour. The surgeons are portrayed as skilled workers in this, to use Kie?lowski's words, "film about some brotherhood".
