This successful Polish-Czechoslovak coproduction unveils the dark side of the luxurious Pacific Hotel: behind its shiny facade there is plenty of human toil and suffering. We follow the fates of a waiter in training who is gradually working his way up to the position of a head-waiter. Will he be able to stick to his moral values or will he succumb to the corrupt system? (Summer Film School)
