Plot
The start of the film begins in 1948 with Strzemiński as an influential lecturer at the School of Visual Arts, Lodz. However he refuses to renounce abstract art despite the new Stalinist regime demanding only Socialist Realist art be taught. This results in him being stripped of his position at the school, and his works (including his famous, “Neo-Plastic Room” at the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź) were either withdrawn from public view or simply destroyed. Then the bureaucracy denied him his ability to make a living as a sign-painter, prevented him buying art supplies, and collecting food stamps.[6]
