Filip buys an 8mm movie camera when his first child is born. Because it's the first camera in town, he's named official photographer by the local Party boss. His horizons widen when he is sent to regional film festivals with his first works but his focus on movie making also leads to domestic strife and philosophical dilemmas.

Average viewer score of 7.5/10 from 197 ratings.
An early Kieslowski with all the trademarks that he refined later in life and that made him one of the greatest filmmakers ever: the politics, the moral dilemmas, the existential questions - that are, of course, not resolved. It's put together well, although his later greats are much tighter. While watching, I couldn't help but wonder how much of this is actually autobiographical.
