Synopsis:
During a summer university seminar about linguistics, tensions rise between two professors because of politics and clash of characters. Young and well meaning, liberal idealist Jaroslaw is in charge of the seminar, supervised by older and cynical Jakub who is aware of the world he lives in. When Jaroslaw decides to take on a student whose views oppose the official politics, he clashes with Jakub for the first time. Things get worse as the thesis assessment and award ceremony day approaches.
The film has won six awards at various festivals (Poland, USA, Rotterdam, Teheran).
