Leon Bukowiecki

Leon Bukowiecki is an extremely colourful personality of the Polish film milieu. A well-known and distinguished critic, one of the founders of the Film Weekly, creator of the Film Discussion Clubs, and a great lover of cinema, he talks about how, as a child, he was bitten by the X Muse bug and devoted his entire life to it, watching an average of 4-5 films a day. Good and bad films - because he felt obliged to watch the worse ones too. This meant that, years later, he could proudly describe himself as the 'most filmic' man among those he knew.  

Włodek is a middle-aged man stuck in a dead-end job at the local library who lives with his harridan wife and critical in-laws in a small apartment. When Włodek draws the interest of a library patron, the beautiful young woman encourages him to strive for better things in his life and professional career. Together, the two take off for a three-day affair, but surprises could await Włodek upon his return home.
