　　讲述一部电影马上就要开机了，可男主角下落不明，于是大家一齐出动去找他。朋友找他因为要知道他的近况；导演找他因为电影在等他开机；妻子找他因为他已经六天没回家了，可是后来他们接到一个消息－他死了，那这一切该如何结束呢ccc

　　两名科学家马克思（JerzyStuhr饰）和阿尔伯特（OlgierdLukaszewicz饰）志愿参加一个科学试验，他们将被放入密闭的容器中，以半死的状态度过三年时光。然而实验才刚开始，第三次世界大战爆发，地球上的国家均被卷入战争。这两个倒霉的科学家一睡就是五十年，醒来后赫然发现自己身处一个奇异的地下社会：在这里，女性是绝对的领导者，而且他们俩很可能就是现存的仅有的男性ccc　　对于喜欢拈花惹草的马克思来说，这里无疑就是天堂；而古板木讷的阿尔伯特则百思不得其解，他要想办法摆脱女人帝国的控制，逃脱出去……

　　贵族少年拉法尔在一次狂欢节上，结识了年轻美貌的姑娘盖列娜，两人一见钟情，并偷偷幽会，两人的私情被家人发现，拉法尔被父亲赶出家门。几年以后，拉法尔在哥哥好友的介绍下参加了秘密组织，见到了昔日情人盖列娜，盖列娜已嫁给秘密组织领导人。尽管如此，她仍深爱着拉法尔。一天夜里，两人被强盗抓住，盖列娜为保全自己，跳下深渊，拉法尔得救后被误认为是强盗，关押了很久后被放出，对生活失去了信心，后来拉法尔在好友的帮助下重新振作起来，并参加了波兰军团ccc　　本片根据波兰著名批判现实主义作家热罗姆斯基（StefanZeromski）的同名长篇小说改编，获戛纳电影节金棕榈提名。瓦依达在这个题材中所表现出的兴趣所在是十分明显的：他试图追索波兰民族意识的形成过程。此片引起了波兰知识界的热烈评论，许多人文科学界的权威和一些著名作家都发表了自己的看法，再此之前，几乎从来没有一部电影可使知识界产生如此广泛的反应。
