MR. WERNER
POLISH TITLE: PAN WERNER
A documentary impression in which Werner Feliks Rzeźnikowski – a member of The Polish Scouting Association and Gray Ranks, an ex-prisoner of the Stutthof Concentration Camp, and a survivor of the Death March – tells the difficult story of his life. A history from the perspective of an inhabitant of a small town in the Province of Pomerania sheds a new light on the life of Kashubians during the pre‑war period, World War II, and in the post-war Poland. What is noteworthy, the documentary does not portray a life of a man broken by his experiences, but emphasizes the fact that even after such a trauma it is still possible to enjoy everyday life
