What happens

The Drama of the St. Mary's Church Tower (Polish: Dramat Wieży Mariackiej) is a 1913 Polish silent drama film directed by Wiktor Biegański and starring Włodzimierz Kosiński, Helena Górska and Władysław Puchalski. The film was Bieganski's debut as a director. It was filmed in Lviv and Kraków, then part of Austria-Hungary. It is likely that the film and Bieganski's next production, The Adventures of Anton, were never put on general release. Elements of the film still survive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
