Nicolaus’ star
Zdzisław Kudła i Andrzej Orzechowski
2009, 1 h 34 minFamily feature animated film about the childhood and early years of a famous Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. It is not, however, a typical biography. Copernicus is a character who grew up and did not forget his dreams but discovered his own power and used it wisely. Faith and science, miracles and reality, illusions and dreams – all that at the time when astronomy and astrology collided, when sorcerers were looking for the philosopher’s stone. The time of great discoveries, flourishing Renaissance and boundless Europe.
