Overview
Jozef embarks on a journey via a ghostly train to visit his dying father in a remote Galician sanatorium. Upon arrival, he discovers that the sanatorium exists in a realm where time is distorted—his father’s death has not yet occurred, as time here lags behind the outside world by an undefined interval. Jozef’s experiences become increasingly fragmented and dreamlike as he confronts various manifestations of his father, each representing different aspects of their relationship and his own psyche.

Viewing Notes
A long-gestating animated film by the brothers Quay based on a novel of the same name by Bruno Schulz, which was also adapted by Polish filmmaker Wojciech Has as THE HOURGLASS SANATORIUM, which I now desperately want to watch.
