GOD AND LUNAPARKS’ WARRIORS

BÓG I WOJOWNICY LUNAPARKÓW

Overwhelmed by religious frenzy, the son embarks on a crusade in order to convert his father. This turns out to be an extremely daring quest, for his father is none other than Andrzej Rodan – the author of scandalous novels from the late 1980s and a sworn atheist. Their mutual journey through Poland will bring back a lot of memories, but above all it will become an opportunity for further clashes between them. The passion of the neophyte will be put to a severe test by the cantankerous anti-cleric.
