The British actor John Gielgud portrays an old conductor who, at the end of his illustrious career, wishes to return to his birthplace. However, struggling with a confrontation with the master is an average conductor of the local ensemble, the husband of the violinist that instigated the master's return. One of Andrzej Wajda's contributions to films of moral anxiety. (Summer Film School)
