Synopsis
Joanna and Jan, an older academic couple in Krakow, have enjoyed a long and satisfying marriage. But following a party to celebrate their 40-some anniversary, they find a mysterious videotape among their gifts. The tape alleges that Jan was an agent of the Polish People's Republic secret service in the 1950s and 1960s and that their marriage was a sham engineered by Communist surveillance apparatus. Even worse, the purpose of this plot was to gather information about Joanna's father, a famous prewar politician. Unable to accept that her husband's guilt, Joanna is determined to uncover the truth. And Jan proclaims his innocence, but the seeds of doubt eventually begin to erode their marriage.
