* MagicRealism[=/=]MaybeMagicMaybeMundane[=/=]RiddleForTheAges: There is no real explaination of ''WHY'' Witek lives through the story three times - ''if'' he really does. The events simply restart on their own accord, each time with minor changes at the train station, which are also left unexplained. There is also [[spoiler: his wife sensing something wrong about the flight and asking him not to go]].

Link correction, but not changing the acronym - despite changing the official name, "ZMP" and "Zetempowiec" (a member) became in coloquial use all the way until the fall of communist, as it was simply easier to pronounce.
