Ashes contemplates love, pleasure, and the destruction of memory. The surroundings of everyday life are shared with extreme intimacy. For Apichatpong, Thailand, while full of beauty, is slowly collapsing into darkness. 　　“King Kong rarely barked. She had been with us since she was three months old. Every night she slept and looked around in her dreams. 　　We thought that our spirits were enriched by the fertile soil and the greenest leaves and the rarest insects and the abundance of humility. But came a day in March we woke up from our dream. The sky wept ashes. The rotten ground trembled as baby worms rose to taste the gray snow. Across the mountains the light of devotion shone and blinded our souls. The darkness was so bright we wept and shouted in silence. And we woke up again, and again. 　　We united like multiple King Kongs with no sound. Every heartbeat a baby was born with her mouth shut tight like a touch of two stones. With pleasure we lived in hope, and hoped to never wake up. A land of Nothing. We slept. We smiled. We ran."

贵族少年拉法尔在一次狂欢节上，结识了年轻美貌的姑娘盖列娜，两人一见钟情，并偷偷幽会，两人的私情被家人发现，拉法尔被父亲赶出家门。几年以后，拉法尔在哥哥好友的介绍下参加了秘密组织，见到了昔日情人盖列娜，盖列娜已嫁给秘密组织领导人。尽管如此，她仍深爱着拉法尔。一天夜里，两人被强盗抓住，盖列娜为保全自己，跳下深渊，拉法尔得救后被误认为是强盗，关押了很久后被放出，对生活失去了信心，后来拉法尔在好友的帮助下重新振作起来，并参加了波兰军团。 　　本片根据波兰著名批判现实主义作家热罗姆斯基（Stefan Zeromski ）的同名长篇小说改编，获戛纳电影节金棕榈提名。瓦依达在这个题材中所表现出的兴趣所在是十分明显的：他试图追索波兰民族意识的形成过程。此片引起了波兰知识界的热烈评论，许多人文科学界的权威和一些著名作家都发表了自己的看法，再此之前，几乎从来没有一部电影可使知识界产生如此广泛的反应。
