주인공이 긴 기차 여행을 한 후에 도착한 요양원은 조그만 다리와 검은 숲을 통과한 곳에 위치하며 검은 개들이 출몰한다. 요양원 마을에서 시간은 제멋대로 흘러간다. 사람들은 죽음과도 같은 잠에 빠져들어 몇 시간, 혹은 며칠씩을 듬성듬성 잃어버린다. 주인공은 마을에서 도망쳐 나오지만, 이미 모래시계 속에 갇혀버린 듯, 그에게 탈출구는 없다.

"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."
