In Krzysztof Zanussi's thought-provoking film, we follow the journey of a young physics student over ten years as he navigates life's twists and turns that challenge his unwavering belief in rationality and science. As we delve into the protagonist's story, we witness how tragedy and personal relationships gradually erode his conviction in the supremacy of scientific thought. The film masterfully interweaves themes of intellectual rigor, human vulnerability, and emotional complexity, ultimately offering a profound meditation on the limits and power of human understanding.
