Austeria (aka The Inn) is a Polish feature film directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz, produced by Zespół Filmowy "Kadr" and released in 1983.

Austeria takes place during the opening days of World War I, in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia. Tag, played by Franciszek Pieczka, is a Jewish innkeeper whose inn (austeria means inn in the Polish dialect) is located near the border with the Russian Empire. War has broken out and local civilians are fleeing the advancing Russian Army. A number of refugees have taken shelter in Tag's inn for the night. A group of Hasidic Jews from the neighboring village arrive, followed by an Austrian baroness, and a Hungarian hussar, cut off from his army unit.

The film is based on a 1966 novel of the same name by Julian Stryjkowski, who collaborated with Kawalerowicz on the screenplay.

Synopsis

Premier jour de la Première Guerre mondiale. Des hassidim, venant en charrettes d’une petite ville de Galicie sont accueillis par le vieux Tag, esprit frondeur, et sa famille dans son auberge (austeria signifie auberge). En carrosse, arrive une Juive fréquentant les milieux aisés de Vienne. Elle fuit et essaie de persuader l’aubergiste de venir avec elle. Il refuse et reste avec sa belle-fille et sa petite-fille qui craignent un pogrom. La servante ukrainienne Jewdocha informe que les Cosaques approchent (nous sommes à proximité de la frontière russe). Une bataille se déroule non loin de l'auberge. D'autres fuyards qui étaient passés auparavant reviennent finalement s'abriter à l'auberge le soir. Parmi eux, le jeune Bum qui porte dans ses bras le corps de sa bien-aimée Asia. Les parents d'Asia et de Bum sont là aussi. Un tzadik (« juste » en hébreu) de Zydaczewo s'arrête lui aussi à l'auberge. Les hassidim se mettent à danser.

In the winter of 1942-43, a Jewish family leaps from a train going through Silesia. They are separated in the woods, and Leon, a local peasant who's now a farmer of some wealth, discovers the woman, Rosa, and hides her in his cellar. Leon's a middle-aged Catholic bachelor, tormented by his sexual drive. He doesn't tell Rosa he's seen signs her husband is alive, and he begs her to love him. Rosa offers herself to Leon if he'll help a local Jew in hiding who needs money. Leon pays, and love between Rosa and him does develop, but then Leon's peasant subservience and his limited empathy lead to tragedy.
