MROŻEK AND BALTAZAR

POLISH TITLE: MROŻEK I BALTAZAR

This document is an unusual opportunity to journey with Slawomir Mrozek through his life - from the sixties of the twentieth century until the present moment. It presents an outstanding playwright and novelist through the prism of his diaries and stories told by his friends. Dilemmas of a young writer, the subsequent disappointment and success, sharp, satirical look at reality - all this intertwined with the image of his  personal life, marked by a series of stops on his nomadic way.
