English title: No End.
In Poland, during the early nineteen-eighties, a widow is haunted by her late husband, a lawyer. The case of a former client of his, a political prisoner, is taken over by an experienced lawyer.
This is practically two films in one, a supernatural drama and a courtroom drama. Neither one is engaging. The haunting story is childish and ridiculous. The political story is unconvincing and its whole point is hard to detect. The direction is rigid in both. The only actor who manages to lend some personality into his character is Bardini, who plays the aging lawyer. A hard-to-sit-through film.
