- Synopsis
- An adaptation of a highly lyrical and reflective novel by Stanislaw Dygat (screenplay by Stanislaw Dygat and Wojciech Jerzy Has). The story begins immediately before World War II and centers on Pawel, a member of a conservative, bourgeois family, and his love for Lidka, a taxi dancer. Social conventions and the lovers' inability to defy them force Pawel and Lidka to part. The times change, war breaks out and ends, Pawel is sent to Auschwitz and Lidka in the meantime marries his cousin. Their love has survived and conventions no longer matter. In the opinion of K. Eberhardt, FAREWELLS was above all a reflection upon the passage of time. "We are left with the impression," wrote the critic, "that everything - the sundries from the Villa 'Quo Vadis,' these antiques from a palace exposed to the turmoil of war, amusing dialogues and carefree situations, dramatic gestures and poses that cannot be maintained - are peculiarly transformed, subordinate to the director's reflections on time."
