WHEN THE NIGHT COMES
POLISH TITLE: NOC ZA DNIA
During The First World War Maria finds out her husband Jan is in the hospital. It turns out the man does not recognize her. Maria has doubts whether Jan has actually lost his memory, or is he lying to avoid punishment for potential desertion. The many understatements and secrets cause confusion. Night mixes with day, for both the audience, and our heroes. Is any of this real? Maybe it's all a dream, maybe a figment of a traumatized mind.
