Serves as both a behind-the-scenes look (very reminiscent of Kieslowski's fly-on-the-wall documentaries) and a political allegory with an ethical decision. Knowing Kieslowski's fondness for moral ambiguity, it's no surprise that the story is left open-ended. The ins and outs of the theater biz are interesting and presented in an intimate, at times comical, you-are-there manner. The political angle is a tiny bit heavy-handed and forced, but not too much. An easy watch with some rewards to be had.
