ZBRODNIA I KARA / CRIME AND PUNISHMENT is the story of crime and love, a story at the edge of dream and reality. As Dumala says, "It is the story of love and of how love can be destroyed by obsession. In our lives we are subject to two contradictory drives - the drive to be good and bad, the propensity to love and to hate".
