Summary
A compelling drama about the difficulty of reconciling political ideals with personal happiness, this film follows Witek, a medical student with an uncertain future in Communist Poland--his journey dramatized as a series of different possibilities, suggesting that chance rules our lives as much as choice. First suppressed and then censored by the Polish government, Blind Chance is here presented in its complete original form.
