One of Andrzej Wajda’s landmark films tells the story of a filmmaker searching for the truth about a forgotten workers’ hero.

In the 1970s, young filmmaker Agnieszka investigates the life of a 1950s bricklayer and worker’s hero. When she learns that the facts behind his story were suppressed, she has to decide whether to pursue the truth or not. Man of Marble is a thought-provoking examination of the moral responsibility of an individual and art in challenging dominant ideology, censorship and oppressive authorities. The film is a powerful milestone in Polish cinema, whose story and themes would go on to be further explored in Wajda’s Man of Iron.
