An ambitious peasant's son rises through the ranks of post-war Polish society, but in so doing does he abandon his soul? A peasant's son rises through the ranks of post-war Polish society like none of his ancestors ever could. Moving to the city, he becomes part of a new socialist order. But in leaving his rural roots behind, does he also abandon his soul? Taking inspiration from Orson Welles' monumental saga Citizen Kane, Grzegorz Królikiewicz (Through and Through) crafts a viscerally affecting portrait of a changing country through the fate of a man ruined by ambition. Strikingly original compositions from cinematographer Zbigniew Rybczyński (Angst) and absorbing sound design capture the psychic toll of capitalism and urbanization.
