A documentary celebrating the work of Walerian Borowczyk, a director of unparalleled sensitivity, revered in the 1970s, who was later labeled as a maker of erotic movies.
Himself
During a hospital stay in 2001, the Polish painter, sculptor and filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk compiled a handwritten list of the objects and animals that were featured in his films. While he had used both encyclopedias and dictionaries to order chaos in his own films, this list saw Borowczyk putting his own life in order.

This short film by Walerian Borowczyk was made in 1979 but is so little known that when it was rediscovered in 2014 it had not been included in any of his filmographies. Of all Borowczyk's films, this is the one that most clearly shows his love of early cinema and pre-cinema, in this case Charles-Émile Reynaud's praxinoscope.

A witty and eye-opening tour through Borowczyk's own collection of vintage erotica. Originally intended as part of his 'Contes immoraux', it was released first as a separate short, and is therefore marks the turning-point between Borowczyk's career as a highly-regarded animator and surrealist filmmaker, and his subsequent career in the sexploitation field.

Screenplay
Por un lado, es una divertida alegoría política antitotalitaria a lo "Ubu Rey", de Alfred Jarry; por el otro, una fascinante recreación del cine mudo con ramalazo nórdico. En una isla ficticia habitada por seres humanos cuyos nombres comienzan con la letra G, un condenado a muerte es amnistiado por capricho del monarca. Sin querer, este personaje descubre que la Reina (encarnada por Ligia Branice, musa y pareja sentimental de Borowczyk) mantiene relaciones sexuales con su profesor de equitación. Los acontecimientos se precipitan: hay suicidios, asesinatos, ajustes de cuentas y hasta una resurrección surrealista. La escena de los funerales inspiró una muy similar en la película "Institut Benjamenta", de los hermanos Quay.
