Man of Marble
Drama
A young Polish filmmaker sets out to find out what happened to Mateusz Birkut, a bricklayer who became a propaganda hero in the 1950s but later fell out of favor and disappeared.
VIBE
A stark, critical examination of a forgotten hero under a repressive regime. It feels like sifting through dusty archives, piecing together a fractured past where truth is a dangerous commodity.
