Synopsis
Tomik, a shy 19 year-old boy, becomes voyeuristically attached to his neighbor Magda, an older, more sexually sophisticated woman. Initially Tomik seems to simply be a creepy scopophillic nuisance. But gradually it becomes clear that his obsession with the woman is a kind of love--and the telescope a channel of naive desire rather than an object of visual domination.
