A man’s (Zbigniew Cybulski) return to Kraków following 20 years of self-imposed exile in London serves as the narrative setup for Has’s eighth feature, one whose thematic and formal developments presage his later masterpieces.

A private language?—seems to be preventing him from communicating with his former friends and family.
