The ghost of a young lawyer, Antek, observes the realm of the living in the Poland of 1982, during the country's period of martial law. Thanks to the help of his widow, Ulla (Grazyna Szapolowska), one of Antek's former clients - a worker accused of being an opposition activist - will be now defended by one of Antek's colleague's - an older, experienced lawyer. But Ulla herself finds life without her beloved husband increasingly hard to cope with and must make a difficult choice. A highly original blend of ghost story, political drama and meditation on the nature of love, No End was Kieslowski's first collaboration with writer Krzysztof Piesiewicz and composer Zbigniew Preisner, with whom he would continue to work with on all his subsequent films.
