This feature debut of Marcin Sauter, a renowned documentary filmmaker, cinematographer and a photographer, made following his own script and with his black and white photography is a visual masterpiece which escapes uniform interpretation. Adam Woronowicz plays the leading part. Nikodem wanders through the rugged tundra landscapes of Spitsbergen which include abandoned mines, fallen telegraph poles, old scrap metal and unused railway tracks twisted by frost. There is a desolate town at the end of the world occupied by seagulls, wind, wild animals and the lonely protagonist – a man lost in emptiness.
