「1981年，這齣戲因無法通過審查而被束之高閣。當時壓根兒不能放映這樣的片子，就算電視也不能播。」
"The film was shelved by the censors in 1981. It was entirely out of the question to show something like that, even on television"

物價飛騰引發大罷工，令小鎮的共產黨書記華克羅萬分頭痛。示威者在黨總部外集合，口號越喊越激烈，有些人更開始焚燒汽車。書記急得像熱窩螞蟻，但上級卻愛理不理。眨眼間示威升級，示威者向黨總部放火。起初華克羅還決意堅守陣地，但火勢快速蔓延，他最後不得不落荒而逃，這天被迫提早下班，成為短暫工作天。諷刺的是，其實書記並非大魔頭而是盡忠職守的父母官，而示威者也不全是無辜受害者，因為在腐敗的制度下所有人都會變得腐敗。本片完成後幾個月，蘇聯武裝入侵波蘭鎮壓失控的示威浪潮，奇斯洛夫斯基的影片相繼被禁，令他的事業陷入短暫的低潮。

同場加映：《工廠》(1970/17')內一方面工人要面對工作定額，另一方面廠領導卻沒法配合提供合適器材。
Price hikes sets off a strike in a large provincial town. As protestors gather outside the Party Headquarters, the Party Secretary must find a way to defuse the situation. Unfortunately his calls to the capital were met with indifference, and meanwhile the protest becomes more and more violent. When protestors began to set fire to the building, the Party Secretary is forced to vacate the premises. Ironically, he is portrayed as a rather decent man trying his best to do his job and not a faceless monster. The protestors, on the other hand, are not all innocent victims. Living under a corrupt system, everyone is forced to become corrupt. Soon after the film's completion, Soviet tanks rolled in to put down increasingly uncontrollable waves of protests taking place in Poland at the time, and several of Kieslowski's films were banned under martial law, bringing his career to a temporary ebb.

Screened with: Factory (1970/17') Shots of workers in a tractor factory are intercut with the management discussing delays and missing machine parts. Will they meet the production quota?
