THE SUPREME
POLISH TITLE: NAJWYŻSZY
If you were to create something big, the biggest in the world, what would that be? This is the story of a Guinness record-breaking plastic statue of Pope John Paul II. It was manufactured in a "dinosaur factory" and is now on display in a park of sacred miniatures. The accompanying paradoxes and surreal observations will tell us a bit about how religious dreams and nightmares come true at the same time.
