dir. EMI BUCHWALD

In one elementary school children are told to learn Julian Tuwims poem Education by heart as homework. The poetic phrase is sometimes incomprehensible, some words require explanation, but parents come to their aid. Unfortunately, not all metaphors can be explained in an unambiguous way and poetry clashes with the prose of life, in particular when a football match of Legia Warszawa is broadcast on television. Some will get Bs, some will fail, but everyone will learn something from this lesson.

The subject of this documentary film is Przemysaw Gintrowski whose legend did not survive the revolution he helped create. This is the portrait of a talented musician who could move crowds with the revolutionary songs he sang. Struggling to find himself in the new reality being born with the demise of communism, his uncompromising stance, previously so valuable, proved to be a burden when there was no longer a defined enemy. His revolution triumphed, and he was forgotten.
