Veteran Polish director Kazimierz Kutz, one-time assistant to Andrzej Wajda and member of the Polish School, directed this endearing drama set in his homeland of Silesia. Cantankerous hero Habryka is an old miner who has won many medals as a stellar worker. Now retired, he lives with his son and daughter-in-law in the old family home, which is full of memories and history. Communist officials want to do away with the old and move citizens to newly built apartments, but Habryka refuses despite cajoling from his family and threats from authorities. ROSARY is the final and most light-hearted film in Kutz s acclaimed trilogy based on the stories of Joseph Hen in which he examines the long, troubled history of Silesia.
