Description:
The film tells the story of difficult love, set in the reality of the world undergoing a process of rapid transformation and industrialization that took place in the nineteenth century. Such a plot required open air interiors and interiors reflecting the atmosphere of the era, which decided to place the film set in our city. The shots were made both inside the factory palaces (among others, the estates of K. Scheibler, R. Richter, R. Schweikert) and around the nineteenth-century factories, or surrounded by parks (Park Źródliska II, Palm House). The production gained a lot of support and sympathy from both PWSFTViT in Łódź, which meant that students of the University of Lodz as well as the city authorities, which materially supported young artists, were involved in the project.
