Game Is Over

1992 · 79 min

A quiet, uneasy character study of mistrust and slow erosion, watching two people drift apart with a cold, observant eye.

Overview
Janusz starts working as an inspector in a department store. One day he notices on the monitor a woman who is stealing a bottle of perfume. He resolves to let her go. Intrigued by the woman, Janek finds out that she is Monika Małecka, a leader of an influential political party, who is going to run as a party candidate in the parliamentary elections. The two develop a difficult relationship in which lack of trust together with neglect lead inevitably to its end.
