30歲的維特在西里西亞的建築設計公司工作，电影第某日接到家裡的來信，电影第敦促他回鄉探望生病的父親。維特的故鄉是在華沙附近的小城鎮，當他抵達時才知道父親只是藉口患病希望他回來承擔家庭責任。但維特討厭他們的生活方式，他的父親是個酒鬼，他的妹妹貝拉是個花癡，他的姑媽髒亂而揮霍，維特要到外地工作來滿足他們的花費。雖然距前作《水晶的結構》只有兩年，但波蘭的政局已起了變化。華迪洛．哥穆爾卡已經下台，愛德華．蓋萊克成為共黨第一書記。蓋萊克提出努力提高生活水平的政策，但是未獲得波蘭人的信任。影片主題是逃避。維特擺脫家人到另一個城市就業；母親早就逃到國外；父親酗酒；妹妹透過性行為。贊祿西不是一個悲觀主義者，他通過電影建議我們應該努力改善我們的生活和工作，而不是後退，或沉迷於不能實現的幻想。
办桌二人组
回复 :马修饰演报社的新闻版主编，莱蒙是他手下的王牌记者。这一天莱蒙正要离开芝加哥到纽约去跟他的女友展开新生活，但临时发生了一宗政治丑闻，马修用尽各种方法来挽留莱蒙采访这段新闻。整个情节就在两人的拉扯之间来表现报界中人对突发新闻的停不了的热爱心理，由此延伸了互相勾心斗角、你躲我寻的游戏。
回复 :Lois Ames is devoted to her job as the editor of a magazine, and her wealthy husband Fred is equally dedicated to polo and parties. Lois's long hours drive her secretary to quit, and she replaces her with Tom Sheridan, who happens to be in the office demonstrating a rowing machine. Tom likes the work and continues to advance until he is indispensable to Lois. Ruth Holman, Tom's fiancée, is jealous of Tom's relationship with Lois and with some reason, as he is falling in love with her. In the meantime, Fred is having an affair with Ann Le Maire, a woman whose interests are closer to his own. Because he feels his love for Lois is hopeless, Tom quits his job and plans his marriage to Ruth. Lois tries to patch things up with Fred, but he suggests that they divorce instead. On Tom's last night, Lois keeps him working late. Ruth is furious and storms up to the office where Lois and Tom are dining. She threatens to tell Lois's husband about their relationship, which leaves the way clear for Lois to announce her pending divorce. Ruth breaks off her engagement to Tom, and he immediately asks Lois to marry him.
