Synopsis
The creators of the film have succeeded in painting a portrait of one of the world’s most important sociologists, augmenting it with his family story, thanks to interviews with his daughters and private conversations with other important characters.
It shows Zygmunt Bauman’s reflections on the culture and times in which we live and Europe’s role in building a global order. Zygmunt Bauman’s famous unwillingness to discuss his personal life makes this insight all the more precious. The footage was shot in Leeds, where Zygmunt Bauman and his two younger daughters Lidia and Irena live, in Warsaw, where in November the professor was awarded the Medal for Merit to Culture, and in Tel Aviv, where his oldest daughter Anna Sfard resides.
