A parable about the human pursuit of the absolute, which often takes the form of a brutal rat race, inspired by Jacek Gaj's copperplate engraving Ladders. Its characters climb higher and higher, trying to reach a colorful mirage that appears from time to time. The goal will never be achieved, as successive "ladders" will only allow them to pass the next levels of their journey. What remains is the toil of Sisyphean wandering.

An anti-war film. Men doing exercises transform into soldiers, who in turn transform into deadly missiles. Rows of military crosses of merit on the uniforms of decorated soldiers - when turned 180 degrees - become cemetery alleys full of gravestone crosses. Exceptionally interesting visual setting.

The main character of the film is a little boy named Marek, who from an enemy of nature becomes its devoted friend. Before this happens, however, fate plays quite a trick on him. At first, however, nothing foreshadows this. Marek arrives in the forest with a school trip. He quickly separates himself from the rest of the children, after which he gives vent to his hooligan fantasy. He destroys an anthill, cuts a tree with a knife, tries to catch a spider. When he fails, he starts chasing a butterfly. He doesn't know that under this figure hides the prince of white and black magic. Wanting to punish the unruly boy, the sorcerer reduces him to the size of an insect. Mark, reduced to the size of an insect, must learn to live in completely new conditions. This is by no means easy.

Scarecrow in a characteristic Polish landscape as a witness to the dramatic events of Polish history. World wars, changes in socio-political systems, civilizational transformations, national dramas - in this animated film take the symbolic form of costumes. Zygmunt Konieczny's dramatic music adds expression to Krzysztof Kiwerski's visual vision.

The engineer sitting behind his desk in his studio is tormented by visions and hallucinations, much like St. Anthony the Hermit once was. Women, apparitions, creatures, and skeletons from the paintings of Bosch and Dali appear. In the drawings he creates, there are more and more mechanical insects and birds, and finally, with the help of a computer, he manages to construct combat aircraft. He begins to control them. Explosions ring out. They are accompanied by the demonic laughter of the demiurge...
