The Beauty of Life

Sep 16, 1921
No ratings yet

PLOT

Film shot in Berlin, edited and supplemented in Warsaw. W. Jewsiewicki believes that the copy produced by the German studio contained numerous distortions of the writer's ideas, which is why director Juliusz Zagrodzki entrusted Eugeniusz Modzelewski with rewrites and reshoots featuring the two main characters. Assuming the film's program was faithful, the screen version of "The Beauty of Life" unfolded as follows: Piotr Rozłucki, the son and grandson of an insurgent, was raised in the Mikhailovsky Corps, far from his homeland and all memories. Promoted to officer status, thanks to his family's efforts, he was assigned to a regiment stationed in Poland, and there, at the home of his superior, General Polenov, he met his daughter, Tatiana. Simultaneously, he became close to a circle of patriotic youth. A struggle rages within the young officer: on the one hand, a passionate and mutual love for a charming Russian woman, and on the other, conscience, homeland, and duty.
