Dark Light. The paradox of capitalism and communism
The filmmaker John Smith remembers the first time he visited a communist country, the Poland of 1980.
A walk through its streets, a scene inside a shop and conversations with the natives make him see that the idealization that he had of communism was the same one that Poles had by Western capitalism.
The metaphor of a dark tunnel at the end of the light illustrates a concise and intelligent reflection on the obsession of humanity to find the perfect political system.
