What happens

How to be Loved (Polish: Jak być kochaną) is a 1963 Polish film, directed by Wojciech Has. The film, based on a novel of the same name by Kazimierz Brandys, examines the emotional casualties of war, which is perhaps the central theme of the Polish Film School. On a deeper level, the film manages to construct a personal tragedy that results from a struggle of egoism and cowardice versus devotion and courage. The film was entered into the 1963 Cannes Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
