Contents/Summary
- Summary
- A sequel to "Zezowate Szczęście," although made by a different director and with different actors, spanning the period between 1952 and 1960. The hero is as zealous and as unlucky as ever. He is put in prison after being caught writing anti-socialist slogans on a toilet wall. In 1956 he is released, but finds it hard to adjust to the new reality. He meets youngsters – fascinated by his troubles and eager to know why he was imprisoned. Piszczyk avoids answering, but he falls in love with Renata, daughter of a party official. Thanks to Renata’s father’s connections, Piszczyk goes to a sea resort. He meets a writer there and tells him his life story. When he comes back to his room, an importunate woman awaits him. He resists, but Renata catches them in an unmistakable situation. Piszczyk find out that Renata is pregnant only after she has left him. He tries to win her back and gets a job to provide for the family. In 1956, during the student protests, he defends Renata during a riot, and gets arrested again. During the trial Renata abandons him; he gets a two year sentence. In 1960 he watches "Zezowate Szczęście" and feels betrayed – the writer to whom he told his story has grossly distorted it.
