If you can add, divide and find your way through closed doors, you will soon come to a world in which time runs backwards, and you have to run as fast as possible just to stay in the same place. There is a special kind of game at play, as large and as strange as the entire world and its been unleashed by director Wiesław Hołdys.
If they let you join them, you can become a pawn in a human-sized game of chess. And if you comply with the Rules of Battle Conduct you will very quickly move to the third sphere - the best way is to make it by train - hitting the fifth (it's mainly water). The sixth belongs to Humpty Dumpty. The seventh is entirely covered by forest, but one of the soldiers will show you the route. Do you think you will be able to spot one? You won't, in any case, unless you are going in the opposite direction.
