Strawman

A psychological portrait of Budny, a Security Service officer who was keeping Karol Wojtyła under surveillance for twenty years. A particular bond starts to form between Budny and the bishop, unaware of his existence (they never met face to face): a one-sided, obsessive and pathological bond.
