Bruno Schulz

Overview

Film portrait combining documentary, feature scenes and animation of writer painter, illustrator and graphic artist known for short story collections that bring back the magical reality of Poland's pre-war shtetl's. Adam Sikora and Agata Tuszyńska reached those who remember Schulz - his Drohobycz students of the 30's and 40's of the previous century. At present they live all over the world, however, they remember very clearly the figure of their drawing teacher, the inconspicuous man tiptoeing the city streets, who at the same time was a powerful tale-mage spinning a yarn during lessons.
