After an emergency landing on a desolate planet, the astronauts become tribal leaders of a shamanistic culture. After video recordings from this primitive world reach Earth, the astronaut Marek travels to the Silver Planet, where he is celebrated as a saviour, but soon becomes an army commander in a brutal war. Based on a story by his great-uncle, Żuławski creates a planetary mythology immersed in visionary images and orgiastic crowd scenes. After two years of filming, some of which took place in the remotest corners of the earth, further filming was halted due to system-critical allusions. It was not until 1988 that Żuławski was able to complete the fragmented version with explanatory commentaries. An uncompromisingly complex epic - a must-see at the cinema! (Florian Widegger)
