Two Men and a Wardrobe (Polish: Dwaj ludzie z szafą) (1958) is a 20-minute Polish black and white silent movie directed by Roman Polański.
It is considered an allegory which illustrates how a relationship between two friends causes them trouble in everyday life. The two men always carry a wardrobe, but when other people see them carrying it, they run away or try to get rid of the two men, as if they were afraid of the wardrobe. Or is it something else?
It deals with perceptions of the same thing by different people, how they react, and why.
The leads are played by Jakub Goldberg and Henryk Kluba.
On a sunny day, two men with a three-door wardrobe come out of a sea. The wardrobe seems to chain the two men together as they struggle with this piece of furniture through the beach and then throughout a city. There is no acceptance of them in the world--the by passers are either scared of them or hostile towards them. Finally, they arrive back at a beach and then disappear in the sea.
