ETERNAL WANDERER

WIECZNY TUŁACZ

Tadeusz Jaworski, now 86 years old citizen of Canada, once was one of the most outstanding filmmakers in Poland. The trauma of war and banning from Poland in 1969, in result of political "witch-hunt" – is a basis, on which he describe his life and creative activity. This man, who despite being abroad did not yield to the conformity, and has never forgotten about his homeland – is reminiscing the duality of his consciousness. He wants to be faithful both to his origins, and to the culture, which he love since his childhood. But most of all – he wants to be a good man.
