Director
Jerzy Kawalerowicz

On the first day of World War I, a group of Orthodox Jews flee from the Cossack army in Polish Galicia and finds itself trapped overnight in a border inn. Relationships develop, love affairs are threatened, the religious pray.

The director combines his gifts for intimate psychological drama with his penchant for history to re-created a vivid picture of a recently vanished world. Full of warmth and vitality, Austeria radiates a sense of humor which seems, uniquely, to draw inspiration from disaster.
