Hegel and the Butterfly (2011)

This brief and creative documentary is probably closest to, in the Polish film tradition, the style of Wojciech Wiszniewski. Performances by a human-butterfly became fodder here to express the dialectic of our collective and individual history. After the thesis and antithesis there must come the synthesis. Will it be the same in life as in the film?
