I found this to be a highly thought-provoking film. In 1981 a frame was added to a 14-year-old ensemble film involving five young Polish actors (all but one of which is now dead - a poignant fact in itself). The frame itself served little cinematic or narrative purpose as far as I could see, but the central story was quite moving. Anyone with an interest in Eastern European reflections on the Holocaust would be well advised to give it a watch.
