A splendid story, revolving around a architectural work of art and the people who inhabit it. From the twenties through the WWII to the fall of the commies, with a wonderful knack for sadness and melancholy.

The only real downside was the sadness and weight of it all, the portrayal of Weltschmerz which really had the potential to sink in deep down, was always quickly followed by a sensual scene which felt out of place.
