The Structure of Crystal

Marek Kawecki (Andrzej Żarnecki) arrives to visit Jan (Jan Mysłowicz), the friend he once studied physics with. The two men have since gone separate ways, one still in the work, the other living far from it with Anna (Barbara Wrzesińska). Krzysztof Zanussi, in his first feature, sets their talk against each man's choices and what a life of principle asks him to give up.
