Before
Twilight is a film about love, the passage of time,
and about actors - their eccentricities and dreams of
getting one more great part. The aged residents of the
Senior Actors' Home, engaged in triviality of everyday
life, decide to stage a production of "Faust."
The idea comes from a veteran actor (Jan Nowicki), a
restless soul who unexpectedly appears in the residents'
uneventful lives, with two young people helping him
(played by Sonia Bohosiewicz and Antoni Pawlicki). Using
their emotions and past experiences, the actors take
all the wisdom they've acquired and put it into their
last show. Warm and amusing, the film concentrates on
the joy of life, provoking a reflection on the beauty
of aging. It affirms that old age can be a wonderful
period, and director Jacek Blawut has joked that he
hopes young people who see his movie will immediately
want to grow old.
