Collection of three dramas from Polish film-maker Jerzy Skolimowski. 'Walkover' (1965) stars Skolimowski as his alter-ego Andrzej Leszczyc who is facing a crisis caused by the fact that the end of his youth is rapidly approaching. Having dropped out of engineering school, boxer Andrzej reconnects with Teresa (Aleksandra Zawieruszanka), a former classmate who now works as a manager at an energy plant.
She gets him a job offer but rather than work, he instead wants to take part in an amateur boxing tournament. Although they are fundamentally different people, romance blossoms between them. 'Barrier' (1966) stars Jan Nowicki as a medical student struggling to find his place in the world.
Seeking to overcome all of life's obstacles, he wanders through Warsaw without purpose until a young tram driver (Joanna Szczerbic) catches his attention. Finally, in 'Dialogue 20 40 60' (1968), three directors - Skolimowski, Peter Solan and Zbynek Brynych - each tell a version of a story in which couples aged 20, 40 and 60 speak the same dialogue in very different settings.
