Life as a Fatal Sexually Transmitted DiseaseUpon discovering he is terminally ill, a middle-aged doctor (Zbigniew Zapasiewicz) questions everything he has believed in and with a newfound freedom goes to Paris to transcend his last days with experimentation and abandon, affecting all around him in the process.
Zanussi's key themes of morality, death and inter-relationships coalesce in what is perhaps his most personal and boldest film.
Upon its release this film was hugely popular in Poland, despite its downbeat subject, and won several awards around the globe.
