Love Looks for an Apartment

A musical “love-swapping” comedy in which two couples are forced to share an apartment.

In 1940, he and his wife, actress Stefania Grodzienska, were interned in the Warsaw Ghetto. During their internment, Jurandot continued working. He organized performances to large audiences in need of distraction from the reality of their situation.
