A slow, somber immersion into grief and political oppression, where ghostly presence and quiet despair linger long after.

1982, Poland. A translator loses her husband and becomes a victim of her own sorrow. She looks to sex, to her son, to law, and to hypnotism when she has nothing else in this time of martial law when Solidarity was banned.
