“Sundial” is the last part of Andrzej Kondratiuk’s family saga (the other parts are “Four Seasons” and “Spindle of time”). The main subjects of this last part of the triptych are mutual relations of the director and his wife, Iga Cembrzyńska. In the self-ironic tone Kondratiuk spins the history about himself, his relationship, about childhood spent in Siberia, about almost supernatural attachment of him and his wife. Sundial, similarly to other parts of the triptych, interweaves documental and staged scenes, and joke neighbors seriousness and sincerity close to exhibitionism.
