Agnieszka Zulewska and Piotr Trojan in The Assistant

A still from the film The Assistant. A blond white woman with dark nail polish stands beside a candle, covering her face with her hands; a white man in shirt and waistcoat can dimly be seen beyond the flame.

Wilhelm Sasnal on Mrs Tobler’s (Agnieszka Żulewska) nail polish: “At the time the nail colour was taken mostly from the cars. I mean that the color of the car paints influenced nail polish!”
