The protagonist of the film is Wojciech Jerzy Has – an outstanding Polish film director and a legendary figure. "Rysopis znaleziony po latach" offers a different perspective on Has’s life and work.
The film is intended as a “multiplied portrait” rather than a
detailed biography or a film study of his oeuvre.
It presents the artist and the man through the eyes of those who knew him — people who reflect on
the intricate paths of his artistic and personal life. Questions that were never asked before emerge
here: What price did he pay for his career? Did it come at the expense of his family life? Was the cost
a profound loneliness in his later years?
The year 2020 marks two significant anniversaries connected with the film’s protagonist — the 95th
anniversary of his birth and the 20th anniversary of his death.
