They are creative individuals devoted to their work and vital to a theater’s success. But given the traditional cult of the actor, these craftsmen are underestimated by actors and audience alike. The film’s protagonist, Romek, is a student at a theater technical college. A sensitive young man fascinated by the magic of theatrical art, he finds his first job in the tailoring workshop of the opera. Quickly confronted with the reality behind the scenes - the bickering, petty jealousies, vindictiveness and corruption - his illusions are shattered. His elder colleague, the tailor Sowa, finds himself targeted by an hysterical actor, and socio-political organizations in the theater want to use Romek against Sowa. Kieslowski’s made-for-television microcosm of the society at large, and an early exploration of moral choice in the workplace.Awards:1975 Mannheim (International Film Week) – Grand Prix1975 Mannheim (International Film Week) – International Catholic Film Award1975 Andrzej Munk Award (of the National Film, Television and Theatre School in Lodz)1976 Gdansk (in Gdynia since 1986) (Polish Feature Films Festival) – Best TV Film1976 Gdansk (in Gdynia since 1986) (Polish Feature Films Festival) – Journalists Award for Best TV film1976 „Golden Camera” (f
