GERMAN-OCCUPIED WARSAW. JAN BRZECHWA, TRAGICALLY IN LOVE WITH A HAIRDRESSER’S WIFE, FIGHTS FOR LOVE AND SURVIVAL. DUE TO HIS JEWISH ROOTS, HE HAS TO HIDE ON THE ‘ARYAN SIDE’ OF WARSAW. FACING GRAVE DANGER AND LONELINESS, BRZECHWA WRITES ‘MR. KLEKS’ ACADEMY’ – THE MOST POPULAR CHILDREN’S BOOK IN POLISH LITERATURE. REALITY AND THE IMAGINED WORLD OF A POET IN LOVE INTERTWINE IN THE FILM, WHICH IS EXPERIMENTALLY STYLED LIKE A DOCUMENTARY-FAIRYTALE OD SORTS. THE STORY IS ILLUSTRATED BY SONGS FROM PRE-WAR FILMS AND BRZECHWA’S CABARETS HITS PERFORMED BY JAN MŁYNARSKI.
