The film focuses on unknown or little-known aspects of the life and work of Zdzisław Beksiński—from the time when he lived and worked in his hometown of Sanok, designing futuristic bus models for a local factory, through the moment when he left the city in a huff, burning some of his paintings (photographs of this event!), through his "Warsaw" period, the death of his wife and son, his return to his artistic roots, and ending with the last minutes before his death.
