Joseph se dirige a visitar a su padre moribundo en un tren donde tanto el paisaje a través de las ventanas como los pasajeros, en aparente trance, y el propio estado del vehículo conforman un escenario que escapa a la razón. Sensación que se mantiene tras la llegada al sanatorio en el que está ingresado su padre, pues la curiosa estructura del edificio unida a su decadencia extrema no se ajusta a las expectativas concebidas sobre instalaciones dedicadas al cuidado de la salud. Tampoco le tranquiliza la conversación con el médico que atiende a su padre. Los métodos que dice emplear se asemejan a las fantasías de un lunático.

"In 1960 Kazimierz Kutz' second film NIKT NIE WOLA / NOBODY'S CALLING, based on a Jozef Hen novel that was never published in Poland, described the fate of Poles on the Eastern Front. Kutz used the film to explore new formal solutions, collaborating closely with cinematographer Jerzy Wojcik to reveal the psychological landscape of a pair of lovers who are strongly affected by wartime events. The camera recorded the couple's inner experiences, contrasting their muted intimacy against the surrounding scenery of a ruined town. The film did not win over critics at the time of its release. It was not until later that critics recognized Kutz's effort to experiment with aesthetics in a manner akin to that pursued by filmmakers of the new wave. NOBODY'S CALLING came to be compared with Michelangelo Antonioni's THE ADVENTURE, which was produced around the same time."
