As a Polish American whose parents immigrated and fled Communist Poland in post World War Two, this film is quite enlightening but falls short. The acting is realistic as the director's wife and sons play their actual roles. The characters are somewhat vague even the lead character. The lead character is a Polish dissident theater director living in London, England after winning the France's Legion of Honor in Paris, France. He wants to create attention to the Polish situation during Martial Law in the early eighties. The film resonates with me as I have had family fighting to get visas. My father wasn't allowed to return to see his own family after he fled the country. The ending was a bit disappointing though. The cast and crew are sufficient enough. I loved seeing the locations in London, England. I never understood Rodak's vision of interactive theater but it was innovative and expensive.
