Aria for an Athlete

Władysław Góralewicz, a boy from a Galician village, joins a provincial circus. To judge his wrestling skills, the director puts him to the test of endurance. Góralkiewicz comes through but suffers a serious head injury. His new job teaches him life. In the circus, Góralkiewicz meets firends, Bolcio and Cyclop. The main character was inspired by Stanisław Jan Cyganiewicz, a world champion in French boxing and catch wrestling.
