Synopsis by Andrea LeVasseur
Dwaj Ludzie z Szafy (Two Men and a Wardrobe) is the first short film by Roman Polanski to be screened publicly. It won festival acclaim in Oberhausen, Brussels, and San Francisco. Two men emerge from the sea carrying a large wooden wardrobe. They carry it throughout the city, but they get kicked out of a restaurant and a hotel. Eventually they get beat up by thugs who smash the mirror on the wardrobe. The two men return to the sea with their wardrobe. Theorists believe this film is about the nonconformist in society and the consequences of carrying a burden.
