Isabelle is fired from her job and attempts to organize her fellow workers to strike not for her sake, but for their own. The film crew is meanwhile recruiting factory workers as extras for the series of tableau that Jerzy is shooting. Jerzy continues to search for the right lighting in the studio and to try to manage an increasingly unruly group of extras. At the same time he is trying to continue his relationship with Hanna, with whom he has shot some test footage that the two review together while discussing the intersection of love and work. Jerzy is also taken with Isabelle, who also wants to merge love and work. She tries to get Jerzy involved with her cause and to make meaningful connections with the film crew, asking them why films never show people working.Finally, Isabelle and Jerzy have an intimate encounter and Isabelle gives up her virginity. She accepts a payoff from Michel, her fellow workers having abandoned their halfhearted attempt at a strike. Lszlo secures more money for the film but Jerzy feels the tug of the Solidarity events and his family back in Poland. Resolving to finish his project by other means, Jerzy leaves for Poland with neither Isabelle nor Hanna but with a waitress from the hotel. Isabelle and Hanna connect with each other and also decide to go to Poland. ........
