Movie Info

In the period before World War II, Joseph (Jan Nowicki) is on his way to visit his father in a sanatorium. As he travels by train, his reminiscences and fantasies blend together and become a revelatory window into the mind and psyche of a somewhat mystical young Jew. Among the images that are brought to the screen are the ghettos, black colonial mercenary soldiers, and memories of Jacob's mother and father in better times. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Unrated, 2 hr. 4 min.

This mind fuck arthouse pic is not for the casual filmgoer or those who demand a linear story.

Jakob's crepuscular quest to reconcile himself to his past will haunt for days those it does not send straight to sleep.
