Despite his fondness for painting disturbing dystopian works, Beksinski (Andrzej Seweryn) is a gentle family man who wants the best for his loving wife Zofia and neurotic son Tomasz. Tracing a 28-year family saga, Beksinski records near-death experiences, dance music trends and funerals with his camcorder. Based on the tragic and bizarre true story of the cult Polish painter Zdzislaw Beksinski.
