SPOKÓJ (Gefährliche Ruhe, 1976/1980, 9.2.) wurde 1976 gedreht, aber erst 1980 im polnischen Fernsehen ausgestrahlt. Der Protagonist, gespielt von Jerzy Stuhr, ist ein junger Mann, der gerade aus dem Gefängnis entlassen wurde und sich nun ein ganz normales, einfaches Leben erhofft. Er bemüht sich, nirgends anzuecken und gerät dadurch an seinem Arbeitsplatz zwischen die Fronten, was tragische Folgen hat.

Two films by Krzysztof Kieslowski were screened in 1980 and 1981 at the Forum of the Berlinale:
AMATOR (Camera Buff, 1979, Feb. 10) marked Kieslowski's first international success. The film tells of a worker who buys a film camera upon the birth of his daughter. He is asked to shoot a film at his company's anniversary celebration. Filming soon becomes the most important thing in his life. This leads to his making a name for himself in the culture scene, but destroying all relations to his human surroundings.
SPOKÓJ (Calm Before the Storm, 1976/1980, Feb. 9) was shot in 1976, but broadcast on Polish TV only as late as 1980. The protagonist, played by Jerzy Stuhr, is a young man just released from prison and now hoping for a normal and plain life. He tries not to rub up, but consequently finds himself between the frontlines at his workplace – something entailing tragic consequences.
