"Two worlds meet in charming Kazimierz on the Vistula River: the artistic one - the painting fraternity from Warsaw, and the local one: the workman and peasant. The former comes to life in the light of the month at its zenith, the latter knows only the face of the rising moon. Everything is shown in two dimensions - the realistic one, when it's about the city and its inhabitants, and the surreal one, when at midnight the theater of delusions, full of fantasists, pierrots and colombines, awakens to life."
