Institute History
Description
The year is 1946. A half-destroyed town, abandoned by the Germans and given over to Poland, is gradually being repopulated by refugees from the east, cut off from their homelands by the tides of war. Against this backdrop, an unlikely love story develops between an American soldier(Scott Wilson) and a Polish refugee (Maja Komorowski). They do not speak a common language, but comminicate through gestures, facial expressions and, recalling emotions long forgotten, laughter. A Year of the Quiet Sun is a hauntingly romantic film, universal, eloquent and wise. Although specific in local, period and the horrors of war, it remains a film about the possibility of love.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
