Synopsis:: Jan (Franciszek Trzeciak) and Maria (Anna Nieborowska) become a couple in 1930s Kraków. Jan tries to get a job as an architect but fails. They struggle with poverty and extreme humiliation. Their attempt to survive leads to a desperate crime. Remarkably filmed with precise close-ups and fragmented sound design creating a sense of unnerving dissonance, 'Through and Through' was enthusiastically received on release and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival where it was compared to Dostoyevsky's 'Crime and Punishment'.
