A man, after fifteen years spent fighting in WWI, returns to his boyhood home and visits the neighboring home where five daughters vied for his attention. From such a seemingly simple premise, based on a famous short and poetic novel, Wajda weaves an hypnotic meditation on memory, aging, and love. This film belongs on all top 50 of all time lists.
