- TriviaAlthough the movie was made in 1981, it had its premiere in 1987. The delay was because of state-imposed censorship due to the film's political content.
- Quotes
1. Werner: I intend to give you my current thoughts on an idea I've been committed to for 40 years. Every generation yearns for light. It needs reassurance and faith that the world can be better and a fairer place. This yearning which is older than Marx and younger than Marx, is like a drug. Early in life it brings joy, because the light seems so near and within reach. At life's end it brings bitterness, because the light has grown once again. In these 40 years I've lived through many things and the light seems further away than ever before, and thus I shouldn't encourage you, but you can be sure of one thing: without bitterness and this hope, life would be pitiful indeed.
- Alternate versionsThe film was scheduled for release in 1981, but was suppressed by the Polish government due to its criticism of Communist regime. The film was eventually released in 1987 with some of the politically sensitive material cut (these cuts totalling roughly 9 minutes). The film has since been released in a uncut form, however one of the scenes involving Witek being beaten by the train guard remains lost.
